Like I said with the marinades, my soy and sesame oil are from large internationally known manufacturers. The other ingredients depend on the time of the year. Summer months I try to use local growers for the garlic. The rubs and seasonings are all certified organic products that I obtain from around the world.

We use the least expensive methodavailable, or at least make an effort to. We are not, repeat, "NOT" out to jack up the prices through shipping and handling like my vendors are. There is no reason that a 1 lb product should cost $20.00 or more to go cross country.

That is a great question: Like all spices, it depends on how and where you store them and then again, on which spice book you believe. Most everyone agrees that spices, if kept in an air tight glass jar will last for six month if kept out of the light and relatively cool environment like a cupboard. Some folks say they can keep up to a year. All I know is that in mid-summer my cupboards are hot. I do not use any ingredients to help reduce clumping or sticking. What you get is the real deal without the extras to make them last. The marinades on the other hand, should be refrigerated after opening. Again, we do not add preservatives. We use name brand soy sauce and sesame oil, neither of whom offer experation dates. in our house, we are lucky if the sauces last a month before being consumed.

Is this a trick question? Well besides my daughter, there is only one, Bobby Orr! Now let's get back to questions about the products. Am I dating myself with that answer? Hmmm?
