Favorite Spices

[Guest guest]

-Patricia,

I sure agree with you about onions and garlic. I eat fresh garlic and

onions almost every day some way or the other. I love pickled garlic

and often have a piece for a snack. But my favorite way to fix garlic

is to oven roast or sautee in olive oil and then spread on a slice of

bread. And what about pesto on crackers or bread..Yum.

buy organic herbs in bulk and then store them in pint canning jars.

Some I buy fresh and what I don't use fresh I air dry and store for

later use. I also have jars of tea spices and herbs. I suspect that

even my clothes must have the lovely aroma of garlic. LOL..

PATRICIA - I never realised until reading your post that I also have a spice

addiction hahaha:-) I have a stacked set of drawers (5 or 6) on my pantry porch

- each drawer is crammed full of different spices. I also have a cupboard in my

kitchen full of them (next to the stove with the most used spices in it). I

also LOVE fresh herbs and someday hope to have an herb garden when time allows.

I think I am going to really enjoy this group :-) Kimberly

shelf that is built into my bottom cabinates. It is about 3-4 inches

wide and runs the full depth of the cabinate. There are 4 shelves for

my spices. I got these all filled plus a bunch in a carosal (spelled

wrong) in another cabinate. Onions another must too. Garlic and

onions cure almost anything. Patricia

Kimberly, sweetie - herbs won't take much time at all! Pot them up

and put 'em on your porch. In the mornings, check the moistness of

the soil; if they need some give it to 'em if not don't. Most of them

are very low-maintenance! :-)

Kimberly(also my daughter's name), So easy to have herbs growing on

your window sill. I dreamed all summer of my mountain garden so decided

to plant some basil among my potted cherry tomato plants on my balcony.

Tomato and basil are companion plants and they loved each other. I had

both for months. Also planted next to them but seperate pots midget

green peppers. Very good. Not like my big garden but still fresh

veggies. -
