[Sca-cooks] Re: Herby Things: Nutmeg

[Samrah]

In California, you can get nutmeg from Mexican spice companies in cellophane packages (containing 3 or 4) for a dollar or less.  Of course, you need to watch & make sure they go thru their spice supply regularly, but nutmegs keep relatively well, and any place from some of the large chains like Ralph's (sometimes) to the ma & pop stores carry them.  Also Cost Plus...

You can get whole nutmeg from King Arthur (www.kingarthurflour.com) for 
$2.95 for 5 'nuts' and no shipping charge. You can also get it from Penzeys 
(www.penzeys.com) at a rate of 1 ounce for $2.09 and 4 ounces for $4.79. 
There is a shipping charge, unless you're lucky enough to live near a 
Penzey's store, as I do (gloat).
