i’m thankful i have a dear friend who has a lovely garden in her back yard…
she occasionally gives me bunches of beautiful herbs, among other things like fresh farm eggs and summer squash… delicious!
and chives, parsley, cilantro, mint…
and lavender…
mmm, can you just smell it…?! !!
i seriously need to learn to cook with this — it’s growing like a weed in my backyard and practically taking over :
it’s grown so much, the stems are toppled over, and it’s beginning to flower…
i had to cut it back a little… and i was talking to it like, “how should we prepare you? would you like to go in a sauce? what do you compliment best?” hAhA!
any suggestions to you herb growers/users out there?!
