It's all good Lott, to each his own. I'm just choosing to give my hard earned bucks to those I feel deserve it. That Summit Spice & Tea place up in your neck o' the woods looks like they've got some good stuff. Thinking about giving them a try. At any rate, looks like you've got some good stuff going on in the kitchen so enjoy! You got me going all Pavlov with the mulled cider and wine...dats good stuff. Tis the season!
