Herbs and Spice and Everything Nice!

Guess who the proud owner of this herb and spice rack is to your left? . . . . ME! I am so happy to have it. I love it! Mom actually set me up with all these containers and labels. She is so awesome! I got the shelving at a garage sale for a couple dollars and now walla! I love it and use it everyday! I used to wonder how people could use so many different herbs and spices. How did they know how and when to use them? Well, I am still learning, but, a lot of it comes from just trying them out over time. I'd follow a recipe and try a new one out. You get used to a flavor and then you can match it with other flavors. It can be really fun for me and more over when the herbs or spices you are using in a culinary fashion have medicinal action as well, it's delightful to learn! We have the power with in us and around us to create, heal, and enjoy life. This week I challenge us all to try out some herbs and/or spices. Learn about their characteristics and how to use them. This is a great time to plant some too! I look forward to what we all have to share! Have a great week! P.S. Sorry for the funky placement of the pictures. They were not cooperating, so I gave up trying. You get the idea.

What a wonderful topic! Your herbs are looking really good! The oregano, lavender and thyme are from your garden, right?

ReplyDeleteWow! Your plants are so big already! Kelly, I'm going to mail you a little lens cleaning rag so you can wipe that thumb print off your camera lens ;)
ReplyDeleteI finally caught that today as I was taking photos. Ooops! I have kids! and they like my stuff!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, those plants are perrenials, so they are big cause they were already there. They are just green instead of brown now. :) But they are big and looooovely. I love to rub my fingers in the thyme and lavender. They are the yummiest smells.
