Nothing cooked, but had a great getaway. Today we are of to Maine Medical for Sam's surgery so it will probable be a few days before I am cooking again
But, I have been thinking about gardening and what fun it would be to start herb gardens and grow all the fresh herbs that Bill's recipes call for. In a partial scan of the recipes, I came up with the following list of fresh herbs: Italian parsley, curly or reg. parsley, basil, oregano, dill, cilantro, chives, thyme, rosemary and mint. Also, while we have our hands in the dirt, why not plant spinach, Swiss chard and chives which are also used frequently in his recipes. I will check find out the best places to buy them, and give you tips on growing them whether from seed or seedling. I will be doing some raised herb beds and also herb pots on my terrace.
Isn't it great to have spring here so early. I found Mayflowers yesterday in full bloom and full heavenly fragrance!
