Praise for Amazon
While dislike for Amazon seems to be fashionable---I am a fan---they allow me access to things I would not be able to access locally. I am blessed with two excellent groceries within a reasonable driving distance (Wegmans and Assi) but especially for regional foods I have come to rely on Amazon. I just received another shipment yesterday of Olive Salad (LA fare) and Hatch Chilies (AZ). Another shipment of RO-TEL diced tomatoes and chilies is due next week.
My Spice Sage remains my go to source for spices. Excellent service, fresh product and reasonable prices.
