The only spice I grind at events is nutmeg, occasionally cinnamon. <br />ManderCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626052594909642166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138878755491747134.post-62735454625929066992017-04-15T14:25:27.978-04:002017-04-15T14:25:27.978-04:00Beth, it was a gift from my husband a few years ag...Beth, it was a gift from my husband a few years ago, I believe he ordered it online, but I have no idea where.

What is hoop cheese btw? <br />I found my spice tin at a flea market, but hadn't gotten as far as replenishing it with the spices. And do you grind them at events? <br />Now I'm inspired to to improve our impression even more!Susannetoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323698019590975567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138878755491747134.post-25692781527661115802017-04-11T16:10:50.700-04:002017-04-11T16:10:50.700-04:00May I ask where you found your spice tin?

I didn't think anyone was making them, and have wanted one for a long time.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118868244845624977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138878755491747134.post-35807732475829502322016-06-09T13:29:48.942-04:002016-06-09T13:29:48.942-04:00Hi Amanda,
Thanks for posting this. The first tim...Hi Amanda,<br />Thanks for posting this. The first time having a farby table hit me was in 2004, with my old unit. I know at least one of those guys spent $400 on his frock coat and maybe $150 for his forage cap. I know he was very particular about uniform accuracy. But one weekend, we were at an event and I looked over and saw him and the guys sitting or standing around a table with a big box of Ritz crackers on it. Not to mention, the table was pretty sloppy anyway. It really made me think of how much that devalues your impression... especially after spending hundreds of dollars. I definitely think having a nice set-up is more attractive to visitors and draws people in. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927013223853154189noreply@blogger.com
