Rosemary is one I just can't deal with. I've done the roasted potatoes with rosemary and it's overrated. Several ways.

I know there is a love/hate out there for Cilantro but I find the stuff absolutely yummy.

Oh and Basil rocks my socks.

I need to cut back on salt big time too. I don't think I've ever bought much of Mrs. Dash stuff. Anyone have a yummy favorite?

I dislike cilantro. But after many years of eating salsa am finding it not so bitter, it is almost to tolerable now. I love curry,rosemary, star anise and 5 spice powder are my favorites along with bay leaves and different pepper spices.

What is star anise and 5 spice powder?

I've never cooked much with bay leaves but I should because I know it makes everything better. It's like I'm to cheap to buy it because you have to throw it away.

GL, I have to agree with a lot you posted. I was going to post how much I love crushed red pepper flakes. Basil and tomatoes fresh is sooo yummy together.

Dill, chives and cumin I love.

Never heard of Fox Point.

I used to put lemon pepper on green beans and thought is was good.

Star anise is a licorice flavored spice and I get it at the chinese store along with the 5 spice which is a blend that is great with beef dishes.
Bay leaves I buy dried at the Mexican store and they sell them cheap a large bag for $1. I want to grow one. I have my own sage, chives growing already.

Yum, licorice flavor. Great deal on the bay leaves!

I would love to learn how to grow spices and herbs. Can't you grow them inside your house?

You could, I have the sage growing outside and it is about 2.5 feet tall with beautiful purple flowers.

Very cool! I remember seeing that info commercial with these lights and shelves growing all the herbs inside. I would love that but it was very expensive.

Dill and garlic are my faves by far ~ nothing better than dill chicken salad ~ yummy!

I HATE cilantro ~ it tastes like soap to me. If it's really disguised in salsa I can live with it but I won't eat much.

Rosemary is not my fave either but I can stand it better than cilantro. I have a big rosemary bush out front ~ why, I don't know since I don't eat it, LOL!

Thanks! You crack me up in a good way.

Tumeric is nastay!
