spice & tea

When we first moved from California to Northwest Arkansas four years ago I remember that every week (sometimes day) brought a new version of what they don't have here (that we used to take for granted). One night the Mister offered to make his famous paella, he asked for the usual ingredients: chicken, sausage, onion, rice, peas and saffron...I was able to find everything except the saffron until we drove 30 minutes to the health food store in Fayetteville, they had one jar...

Today we were in Bentonville and just happened by this Spice & Tea shop located just of the downtown square.

My, how things have changed.
