SC - Spices-another source an knives and cheesy salamanders?

[Deborah Schumacher]

Hello All !
I'm still trying to catch up on the digests (367 out of 600 done- but I do
have to work sometime ) but had to stop and put my two cents in re spice
sources.  While I can't wait to get out to An Tir to go to spice world ( I
have ordered a catalogue.) I have another wonderful source.
It is called the Spice house in Evanston - just North of Chicago
The address is 1941 Central St Evanston IL 60201
Phone is  847-328-3711 fax  847-328-3631- it is run by  Patty Penzey Erd and
Tom Erd. No it's not Penzeys. It is the brother in law and sister of the
gentleman who runs Penzeys. Spices are a family business for them. Some of
their prices are lower some are higher. Some of the blends are different. If
you want a catalogue  you can  send me your info and I'll get him to send
them out. ( instead of having to write or call - they don't have a website -
but are close to me here.  ( Email me privately so we don't bog down the
list. )

and while I'm wasting bandwidth 2 questions

What kind of knives do you recommend as being affordable but being practical
and lasting a long time?  And What are the knives  you would get  if money
was no object? ( something to start with and something  to save for. )

Can someone privately email me and let me know the status of the cooks guild
badge??  is there a place on line to view it still ? or can it be sent to
me?

		Thanks all
		Deborah
