spices and long drives

i was very excited to find out that a penzey's spices retail store had opened in memphis. (it's one of two (??) of their stores in the southern u.s.) finally a place to get different salts, cinnamons and vanillas!!

but guess what! it's located in germantown. a f-ing suburb of memphis. (and a hell of a looooooong drive from where i'm located.) factor in that the store's hours are from 10 am-6 pm and you'll find a rakka that's not going to be shopping at a penzey's anytime soon.

and i was really looking forward to getting some soup bases too. sigh...

nah, not sad.

apparently, the "memphis" penzey's has been open for about three months. i only read about it in the paper this week.

shows you how much i get out to that area of "town".

Hey, I've got to be in Germantown on Tuesday. Where is it? Is there anything special you're looking for?
