Sorry for all the questions, but I just got a delivery of produce today and want to make the most of it!

I already have my garden ready to go, tilled under and covered in weed block so all I have to do this year is cut slits in the weed block and plant my herbs and tomatoes and peppers.
That salad made me hungry for cuke and tomato salad, I love it made with good fresh tomatoes from the garden, but never made it with basil. I'm definitely going to try that this summer!!

In the summer at our camper I have different kinds of basil I used it for a lot of different things even for mint when I made some lemonade..I like fresh basil. I also now have a pot with mint that I started and I just sit the pot under the camper and in the spring it takes off growing again....lol Thrifty.
I also have a pot of rosemary. I love it but when I get the dried stuff I can never cut it up and get any use out of it.....You go to cut it and it flies all over the place...I don't have a grinder....
A lot of time I will pick some basil and rosemary and put it in a glass of water and use it for a few days sometimes you just need that little bit of something.....
The one day I was going to put some burgers on the grill. We don't eat burgers much because they are usually so boring and plain so I cut up some onion,rosemary and garlic and mixed it in with the meat and cooked them and put 2 slices of provalone cheese on it we actually ate them on a plate with fresh tomato, cuke and basil salad...
LOL, Misty!
is best for me
I am not into drying. won't wait because freezer means an easy slap into the freezer and I feel they are just as good vs. 'fresh' from some chemical farming vs. my own home grown
Anyway, DH and I had our own little thanksgiving, I was excited because I'd never cooked one before. I turned the oven on to heat up before putting the turkey in, but didn't know that DH had put a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts in there to hide from me, it was a surprise for dessert. The box melted, it had plastic lining the box. It was a MESS and it sutnk SO bad. Took forever to get the oven cleaned.
I learned the hard way to ALWAYS check the oven!!

I have not tried freezing fresh thyme, so it would be worth trying to see if it shrivels and wilts like parsley does.
