Is there a good place to buy a variety of spices online that are decent without breaking the bank? I'm starting out from scratch so I need everything from whole mustard seed to dried herbs to allspice, etc. My grocery store has some basics but not all the spices I'd want, especially for Indian cooking. Other grocery stores require me to take a bus there and back just to see if they have everything I'm looking for, which factors in time and money I'd rather not spend if I can just get everything I need in one online purchase.

But if you're okay with building up over the course of a year or so, Penzey's has a mindblowing number of deals, freebies, and samples. I could drop 100$ on startup spices. I was trying to avoid buying McCormick on Amazon, so this looks good, thanks.

What's the best, yet cost effective, cut of chicken for shredding to make wraps/sandwiches? Is this a case where buying breasts isn't a bad idea?

I've been doing seasoned breasts in some water in a covered pan to get them easily shreddable. Would you do the same for thighs?

Suspect Bucket posted:You got the gist of it! Basic cheapo pork shoulder is a must buy when on sale. You can slow cook and shread a whole shoulder, and freeze it in portions. You can have it over rice and vegetables, or beans. You can have it in a sandwich. You can make tacos. You can put some in a soup or beef up (lol) instant ramen noodles. You can top a green salad with it. You can sauce or season it as needed with teriyaki, orange sauce, sweet and sour, chineese 5 spice, any variety of sweet, Mustard, creamy, or vinegar BBQ sauce. Probably a dozen more good sauces I'm not thinking about because I haven't had my coffee. Do you season shoulder at all when you're slow cooking it to bulk freeze for a dozen different recipes later?
