Here's a new source for cooks

New to me, anyway. Yesterday's mail brought us a catalog from Pendery's, an outfit which specializes in chile peppers, spices and seasonings. It's located in Fort Worth, it's been around since 1870, and it's a real treat to look at and drool over. It's got more chile and chile blend powders than you can imagine, from the mild to the Scoville-didn't-dare-rate-this variety. It's also got spice glassware, mortars and pestles, and salsas and seasonings.

If you're looking for these goodies and can't find them at your local supermarket, this place might be a good start. It could be a Christmas gift-shoppers paradise for the cooks in your family too.
