Happy Thing, Day Three

Seeing this in my e-newsletter from a local spice shop:

We created Hyde Park Seasoning in honor of the election of the first president from Chicago. Obama's Chicago home is in Hyde Park, a neighborhood in the South Loop that's home to many of Chicago's finest cultural institutions. Hyde Park was the site of the World's Fair in 1893, and now boasts the University of Chicago and several of Chicago's best museums. Our Hyde Park Seasoning reflects some of the best aspects of the neighborhood and the president, with bold peppery flavor subtly enhanced by rare African Grains of Paradise, grated shallots for elegance, and Hawaiian sea salt. Bright red bird chilies add heat, in a nod to the colorful Monk parakeets living in the neighborhood.

Sadly, shallots are the sort of thing I never have around and I always end up substituting onions instead. One of these days I'll get fancy and buy some.

Or just pick up some of that spice blend. *g*

Oh yes yes, they are utterly fabulous, aren't they? I adore their Saigon cinnamon. And ten different kinds of paprika. And Old Town Spiced Sugar. And their Caribbean Calypso blend.

And their prices rock, too!

I sniff everything so much I end up sneezing. And then go back and sniff some more.

For some reason my brain associates them with fennel. Not sure why, but They are both wonderful. :)
