Which is Australian for "My Penzey's order just arrived!" Herbie's Spices
being a similar online spice store type of situation in Sydney.
Amongst other things I took delivery of some ground chipotle chilli which
worked very well in an unlikely collection of "stuff" found lurking in the
fridge. It really transformed an otherwise ordinary "empty the fridge" dish.
Chipotle powder is not easy to come by here, nor are many of the other
ingredients that Herbie's sells. They are quick to fill orders (I ordered
online on Monday -it arrived Tuesday) I ordered Ras el Hanout, Herbes de
Provence and Chermoula Spice amongst other things. Can't be bothered making
them up myself. The spices are very fresh and hey- it's fun opening the
package and dreaming up new ways to use interesting ingredients.
