I'm not a jalapeno fan so I'd pass but the cheddar part sounds good.
 
Always had Ritz on hand but then one day I tried Town House and have not
bought Ritz since.

Although there's a nice store two blocks from me, this is why I have no intention of ever entering their store or buying their products... the idjits who run the place would do well to keep their lying MARXIST mouths SHUT about their radical politics if they want to foster a solid customer base...
 
"Despite the fact that his politically-charged email reportedly brought in 30,000 new subscribers, Penzey conceded that "we are still down about 10,000. Please help."..."

Spice company that called Republicans racist begs for gift card purchases after losing customers
 
The spice company has reportedly lost more than 40,000 subscribers after the CEO's politically charged email
 
"A Wisconsin-based spice company that made headlines earlier this month when its CEO sent an email to customers accusing Republicans of racism is now asking people to buy gift cards after hemorrhaging tens of thousands of customers.
 
Earlier this month, Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey renamed the extended Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend to be "Republicans are racist weekend" in a newsletter to customers. In the letter, he said his aim was to anger Republicans in honor of the late civil rights icon.
 
"Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn't a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists," the email said.
 
Penzey also claimed that the Republican Party "does everything it can to make it harder for Black people to vote."
 
Since sending his controversial email, Penzey sent out another missive Friday asking for gift card purchases and admitting that his company had since lost 40,005 subscribers, which is approximately 3% of their base, according to 1130 WISN.
 
"After starting the year with All Republicans are Republicans and following up with Republicans are Racists we've set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion," Penzey wrote. "It certainly wasn't unexpected, but if it's within your means, you picking up a small stack of Gift Cards would help."
 
Despite the fact that his politically-charged email reportedly brought in 30,000 new subscribers, Penzey conceded that "we are still down about 10,000. Please help."
 
"If you can't even begin to fathom how to 'compromise' with January 6th, or the Republican vaccine lies needlessly killing 10,000 Americans every week, if you have no desire to become half-way racist, and if their intent to destroy our climate for one thousand years to come doesn't have you asking: 'What if we just destroyed it for five-hundred years instead?' we would be better off with you on this Voice Of Cooking email list," he wrote.
 
Penzeys Spices did not immediately respond to a request for comment..."
 
 
The original email, from earlier this month:
 
https://spices.penzeys.com/index.php/email/emailWebview?md_id=22555
 
"Remember when Black Lives Matter started to have some success getting all of America to see how unfairly Black Americans are treated in this country and the importance of us all saying Black Lives Matter until Black lives start to be treated as though they do matter? Remember how Republicans, seeing the success BLM was having in moving America towards greater equality for Black people, in many ways the first real success since the time of Dr. King, remember how Republicans did all they could to derail that success by trying to drown out BLM's message with shouts of all lives matter, and blue lives matter, and lying about the leaders of BLM being Marxists and Communists?
 
Remember after George Floyd's murder the anger and righteous outrage that swept across America? Remember how Black Lives Matter stepped in and redirected that anger into peaceful protests that millions of Americans from across all walks of life participated in, amassing a hundred million human-hours of peaceful protest? Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn't a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists.
 
So many great things about our spices and seasonings. One of those great things is that pretty much every one of them, by virtue of where they are grown, who they are picked by, or by the cultures of the foods they ultimately go on to season, cheeses off racists. And where normally cheesing off racists is something we throw in for free with the purchase of any of our spices, in honor of the life of Dr. King, this extended weekend we are throwing in an extra cheesing off of an up-to-$12.95 value 1/2-cup jar free with any $10 purchase.
 
This Dr. King Memorial Weekend we are also giving away 10 little but powerful BLM stickers with any purchase. And two of our very best blends, our regularly $3.95 Galena Street and $5.29 Mural of Flavor, are only $2 each with the entirety of those $2 being split between the national Black Lives Matter organization and Milwaukee's own BLOC that's doing an outstanding job pushing back against the decades of racism this community has faced. Thanks for helping support good people.
 
No coupons or codes are needed for any of these offers. Each is automatic for everyone. On penzeys.com, whether you are looking to get your order shipped or looking to do touchless pickup in one of our stores, once you have an additional $10 in spending your most expensive of all your half-cup jars up to $12.95 in value will automatically be free. It's easy!
 
And I get it. If you are a Republican voter you are now cheesed off. You were promised that there would never be any accountability for your support of the party of open "textbook" racism. Sorry, but for the betterment of all Americans, you included, we've decided to end that rule. And I really don't care what your race is or how many of your friends "happen to be" whatever. None of that excuses you.
 
If you're a part of a party that does everything it can to make it harder for Black people to vote, gerrymanders the value of minority votes down into a small fraction of the value of white votes in state houses and in the US House of Representatives, and are willing to vote for candidates of the party that nominated a man for president who explained why he was launching his campaign by saying: "Mexicans are rapists and murderers," the Racist label is one you will deservingly wear every day you stand with them. Get used to it, or maybe instead, become a better person. The choice is yours. We will be here rooting for you to Choose Love.
 
Thanks for caring, thanks for cooking, thanks for spreading the word,
 
Bill

He has been writing his personal political opinion for years. If you
don't like it then don't use the store anymore. Many people explessed
themselves that way years ago when he began. He is simply
expressing his right of free speech.

I haven't. The only thing I do is butter all sides of the bread. That's
what I grew up with. I lack imagination. Maybe next time. I have
Campari's which should suffice. I'll ask my wife :-)
Oh...I grew up with Velveeta and emigrated to Kraft Singles, so I've
grown! Now, I just use Velveeta in macaroni salad. Little chunks.

The premium Kraft singles have their place, they are a staple for me...

I can beat that. XXX (2002) and The Crying Game (1992). I spotted
the shemale really early on (and probably announced it too loudly).
My gaydar and other gadgets are pretty finely tuned.

When we eat at McDonalds, my wife has a Big Mac and a medium order of
fries. I have a quarter-pounder with cheese, a filet-o-fish and a small
fries. We both have a medium pineapple-mango smoothie.
Ordering a la carte here ain't cheap. That's about 22 bucks as of last
month or the cost of two reasonable beef tenderloins at the store.
That's why I generally cook at home.

Wow. I was not aware of the problems Florida orange growers were facing.
I just looked it up and learned about the citrus greening and how they
had predicted this year's crop to be the worst in 75 years.... and now
this freeze. Good luck to them.
