NorthernVike 2,083 Posted September 7, 2018 I received this e-mail today from my beloved purveyor of flavor. Conservatives — We do love you. I grew up in a Volkswagen bus. My best friend grew up in his father’s navy coat. He died a Marine from a cancer maybe from a war he fought and was left to clean up after. I respect you when you are right, and have no patience when you give up your values to unearned race-based praise. Still, the cliff you are now dropping off of with this week’s events is too steep for anyone to face alone. They fooled you, and shame on them for that. But then you let them fool you again, and again, and again. You and I know what that means. But always remember, you are not alone. The good news is that you were raised with the strength to take responsibility for your actions. Now’s the time to use that strength to put things right. It won’t be easy. It will be possible. Now’s maybe also the time to use your choice of search engine to type in “Ryan” “Trump” and “textbook” to see, maybe for the first time, that the racism that took over your party long ago was there well before you voted for this administration. Now maybe this week for the first time you can see it. I trust you to find your way to make amends and put your actions right. It’s who you are. A big part of how cooking works is that it’s a gift. Right now we are already preparing for the holiday season and a couple of big events before then. With our growth we don’t have a lot to spare, but yet in times like these, if cooking teaches us anything, it’s that the value of a gift freely given means all. So in addition to our regularly $19.90 Teacher Gift/Embrace Hope boxes for just $5.95, and regularly $3.29 Pico Fruta and regularly $3.69 amazing Powdered Ginger, both for just $2 each, through Sunday 9.9.18 get two free 1/4-cup jars of your choice up to $5.95 each. No coupons or codes needed for the Pico Fruta, Ginger, or Teacher/Embrace Hope offers, those are automatic for everyone. To get your two flat-out free 1/4-cup jars of your choice up to a $5.95 value in our stores, just bring in this email, or the coupon above. Online at penzeys.com, to get your two free 1/4-cup jars, up to $5.95 in value each, simply add them to your cart. When you check out, you will see that the two 1/4-cup jars with the highest prices are marked as free. No coupon or code needed. Online the jars are free too, but standard shipping options apply. And please, it’s time for you to move your “leaders” to the curb. They’ve fooled you enough. Don’t buy into their new “Vote for us, and we will protect you from us.” You are better than that. Time for you to get back in the game. Your nation needs you. With great expectations, Bill Penzeybill@penzeys.com And if you could, please forward this email to those you think would find it of value. We are all in this together. Thanks again. First off, I knew you were very liberal and I was ok with that..... But leave your focking politics out of my food! :wall: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
