Chicago Here I Come!

72 hours from now I will be in Chicago. Woohoo! Good times. I am pretty excited about this. I'm going to go on a few boat cruises, some boat tours, go to the top of the Sears Tower, go to the Lincoln Park Zoo, walk around the Magnificent Mile, etc etc. I also want to go the Spice House in Chicago--they sell truffle salt, which I really really really want to try. I am also going to go to Windy City Sweets, to feed my candy obsession :)

Speaking of candy, I received a free pound of candy from Southwest Candy! If you were one of the first 50 people to email them, you got a free delivery. It was a varied assortment of hard candy. So thanks, Southwest Candy!

I still haven't made it to Penzey's yet, but I will be going soon. I found my list of spices I want to buy:

Galena Street Rub
Cinnamon Sugar
Vietnamese Cinnamon
Chives
Celery Salt (delicious on microwave popcorn and sprinkled on cheeseburgers)
Brady Street Cheese Sprinkle
Medium Chile Powder
Baking Spice
Sweet Curry Powder
BoldTaco Seasoning
Sandwich Sprinkle
Shallot Salt
Smoked Spanish Paprika
French Grey Sea Salt
Tandoori Seasoning
4/S Seasoning Salt
Lemon Peel
Buttermilk Ranch mix
Powdered China Ginger
Fox Point Seasoning
Fajita Seasoning

Little long, eh? Oh well. That's what money is for--to spend!
