Custom Spice Blends

Welcome to Auntie Arwen's cyber-store!

NOTE:

The fall weather is starting and it is time to get your last BBQ's of the season. Auntie is all set for your barbecues, so fire up your grill and get ready for some lip-smackin' flavor. Good on ribs for the calm palate are Pig Out Bigtime; Lazy Dog, and Gypsy Fever. Chicken: Hot to Trot, any of the pork rubs, Gilded Lily, and more. If you want more snap, try Grandpaw's Secret (rather warmish), Flamebreath BBQ, and Flamebreath BBQ with an Attitude. We also have a nice selection of Cajun blends. For steaks, calm blends include Chuckwagon Cowboy (I usually use that with my Blatantly Gahaarlic Salt); Old '97 is a Montreal style steak pepper blend, and Le Bon Voyageur and Argentinian Gaucho are tasty, too...with a bit of difference from the usual.

Remember that when you display a list of the blends or whatever on the shopping cart page, that if you click on the item name, that takes you to a details page which lists ingredients and hints/recipes. For instance, my secret (hah!) Texas style chili recipe is listed under Oregano, Mexican, c/s

Doing low carb? Almost all of our spice blends are carb-free. If you want carbs, you’ll have to browse through our sugar blends and chocolate.

Now, if you want dangerous, check out our chile peppers, and hot blends. We have zesty through abjectly terrifying selections of spice blends there.

Auntie also has a huge selection of botanicals (medicinal herbs, seeds, barks, berries, flowers, etc.). Almost all of our botanicals are organic or responsibly wildcrafted. We carry a number which were popular in folk medicine. But please check with your pharmacist, a reputable holistic healer, or a Master Herbalist before embarking on a self-prescribed regimen.

Favorite Links
Links are like networking. If you find a site that you like, you'd like to see what *they* like. Auntie Arwen has started to post some Really Good Sites, which are top of the heap, quality wise. Some of these may be informational; others goofy. But if you're interested in what's in the link, please do take the time to check these ones out. I have vetted each one and won't toss you to a *shudder* spammer! Most of these folks are Mom & Pop or solo acts; some are full-time; others do their thing while holding down a Real Day Job, or raise kids. But every single one is a winner.
