I don't think I have ever seen dried cilantro - but that it the only thing growing out of control in my garden at the moment.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342729778890255424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-36458283768840834242010-06-22T11:35:54.278-04:002010-06-22T11:35:54.278-04:00Hi Cia and thanks for visiting :) You are quite w...Hi Cia and thanks for visiting :) You are quite welcome. I'm glad you found the information for drying oregano helpful. Oregano seems to be liking this year's growing season as others have been reporting how well it is growing too.Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-25367412330944162292010-06-21T18:48:05.099-04:002010-06-21T18:48:05.099-04:00I look forward to it! :)I look forward to it! :)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-84805503995773528442010-06-21T17:30:14.806-04:002010-06-21T17:30:14.806-04:00Hi Linda :) Learning to use herbs both fresh and ...Hi Linda :) Learning to use herbs both fresh and dried in cooking is quite rewarding though the flavours they enrich your food with. They are a great way to help reduce the use of salt in your cooking. Hmm, I think I just have found the topic for next Monday's Frugal Kitchens 101.Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-11568225928234422422010-06-21T14:38:52.644-04:002010-06-21T14:38:52.644-04:00Hi Alterity Button Jewelry and thanks for visiting...Hi Alterity Button Jewelry and thanks for visiting :) Oven drying herbs shortens the drying period something that is quite desirable in humid areas where humidity can cause molding problems when air drying herb. What can happen with air drying is the mold sets in just before the herbs are finished drying meaning the whole bundle is unusable.Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-51417121195989213972010-06-21T09:28:43.722-04:002010-06-21T09:28:43.722-04:00I usually dry my herbs the good old fashioned way....I usually dry my herbs the good old fashioned way...tied up!

My hubby is pretty fussy about his food, and my mom never used herbs in her cooking, so I never learned how to use them.<br /><br />Sometimes I'll use herbs as listed in a recipe, but because I don't use them regularly, the foods often taste unusual or something and he often doesn't like them. lol.<br /><br />But this was still interesting. Thanks for this! :)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.com
