I'm very into fresh dill at the moment. I bought a bag of it the other day to go with some salmon. Lovely.

MMmmmmmm...... fresh dill!

If you don't mind my asking, what does it go for in the market, these days?

When I need fresh dill (or chives or rosemary or onions, etc., etc., etc.), I just walk 20 feet out the front door and pick some.

You should get some seeds and plant a pot in your windowsill. Dill is absurdly easy to grow.

That's part of the problem. It'll take over quickly!

Reminds me: need to buy pots for mint, dill, oregano, basil, chives, thyme.

A little .68p for a 25g bag. So, maybe around $1?

OUCH! I'm always amazed when I see what grocers are charging for fresh herbs or organic fruit/veg. And then I go home and pick my own for free.

Not exactly free... you have to add in the cost of that 1.14 acres.

Given how sporadic my interest in herbs and cooking is, it is way better for me to just buy a bag :P

Not embarrassed to like fresh spinach.

Remember when the schools used to put cooked spinach on the lunch trays?? Now that's embarrassing.

Show of hands. Who ate the cooked spinach schools served?

Fresh spinach = teh YUM

Cooked spinach =

When my brother was a kid, he pestered my mother forever to buy him some spinach in a can like Popeye eats. She knew he'd hate it, but finally gave in. He gagged trying to eat it and barfed up his supper.

I wonder when they figured out that fresh vegetables was a no brainer to getting kids to eat them.

Oh I used to love cooked spinach. It only looked like Popeye's spinach if it had been cooked into a slimy gloop. I liked it dripping with butter. Mmmm. Still do; but it makes my throat close up, so I don't eat it :P
