Went to the store today to buy my ingredients for dinner. Trying something a little different; planning on semi-creating my own dish. Semi because I have a basic recipe and wanted to add a few different things to make it my own and to see how good I am at putting ingredients together.
So, I thought I'd get some fresh vegetables and some fresh herbs. The veggies were beautiful (More later on what kind they were when I regal you with my dinner). Then I started hunting for the fresh herbs. Now, I don't know if it's the particular store I picked or if it's like that everywhere but I found two (yes, that's what I said), basil and thyme. Both distinguished herbs but I was hoping for a better choice.
Hmm. Again, not sure if it was the store or even maybe the time of year or what. So, while I was chopping up my veggies, I came up with what I thought was a brilliant idea. Grow my own! Yes, people have been doing it for millions of years but my success with plants is even WORSE than my cooking ever was. But seriously. Is it even possible to kill an herb?
I guess we'll find out. I'll keep you informed on that little idea and definitely will be writing later on how dinner turned out.
Thanks for listening!
I haven't read all your posts yet - but have you tried shopping at the Fresh Market in the Burlington Coat Factory plaza? You might find some different things there... Kim K :)
