Thanks for the tip regarding the spice shop! I’ve always walked by, looking for an excuse to go in…and you finally gave me one. I collected up fantastic spices for a Tikka Masala, and it was delicious. The people at the store were friendly and knowledgeable, and I immediately started looking for reasons to return. I’m also thrilled that you featured the small Asian grocer in your latest post! Love that place.

emhuze – that is a very tough situation, but it sounds like working together you may be able to find a solution. Many people have said that pooling resources together to feed several people is more economical.

Manisha – yes ma’am! :)

TKW – yes, let’s go sometime!

Hugo – so very very true. Thanks for pointing that out :(

Kimberly – it’s true, he’s such a delightful and pleasant fellow.

Mark – thanks for having me.

Sarah – totally my pleasure.

Joan – Sarah is awesome :) I love CSR!

Lynn – ha ha! I can see it too – it’s like a cook’s amusement park!

BldrJanet – yup, I thought about that but none of them had whole star anise and really, I wanted to check out Savory Spice Shop for a few months now, so it made sense to just go and check them out.

Denise – that is something I love about Boulder – good local businesses! I got the link to Chef Michael working ;)

I love Savory! I went to one in Denver earlier this year. I love the Hudson Bay Beef Spice blend. Although I’ve never had it on beef. My mother loves it on Salmon. I LOVE it on fried eggs. Delicious! I need to reorder soon.

I will really like to visit you where you are babe!! I agree with supporting local stores than national chains. Unfortunately, for us here local stores do not have as competitive a price to fight against the national chains and the vicious cycle goes on and on…

Small, specialty stores like Savory Spice Shop add so much charm to a community. I get so frustrated living in a resort town and a majority of the businesses are tacky shops selling t-shirts and sea shells. The main drag should be lined with boutiques, specialty food stores, bakeries, sidewalk cafes, and stores offering unique products! Can’t agree with you more about employing people who know something about what they are selling. And I’m a tad disappointed that your link to Chef Michael didn’t seem to work…I could have used a little squeal this morning ;-)

Great posts eating on your budget and it’s amazing you decided to “whip up” a little improptu puff pastry for your turnovers! Go girl!
