My mouth is burning. I'm snacking on wasabi soynuts and soup.

Yesterday my mom, Owen, and I visited the Canandaigua Spice Company, which is really quite an amazing little shop stocked to the gills with bulk packaged spices, spice mixtures, soup bases, and baking supplies, etc. You know how you'll be reading an exotic and exciting cookbook, and want to try a recipe, only to be flummoxed by the unavailability of North African Zahtar? Well, is this ever the place for you! I could have spent hours looking through them all. And the salts! Hawaiian red sea salt! Cinnamon and rose infused salt!
This place (combined with the farmers' market in the summer) will be dangerous.

I know, right? I had to walk away before I bought out the store.

Don't they sell spices at the public market? It's been so long since I visited!

i think they do. we go to the shop (near Lori's) about once every other week. i stock up on cooking supplies, rice, polenta and the like - plus that's where i get all of our dried fruit and nuts for us to snack on.

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you decided to take a trip out there. I thought you might appreciate it. I definitely do some serious damage there. Her curries are phenomenal, as are all the soup mixes. I can usually eek out a few meals from each cannister- and it's SUPER easy when I'm feelin' lazy!

I picked up some of the potato leek soup mix, and I can't wait to try it! The curries looked phenomenal, too. Such a great place!
