My Penzey's order arrived today.

We now have lots of cardamom pods, rosemary, thyme, and powdered ginger, all of which we have been using a lot of. We have replaced the bay leaves and the (ground) allspice, both of which had lost flavor with age.

I also had them send a small jar of crystallized ginger, which I use slowly but had just finished the previous jar of when I placed this order.

Ajwain, the item we selected specifically because it's something cattitude had never cooked with (and wasn't sure what was) is apparently the little seeds that some south Asian restaurants have bowls of near the door, to freshen your breath with after meals.

Another package, with a small jar of powdered mustard, is also on its way.
