I had given up on something coming in the mail and was going to send my package without it, but got notification today that it will be in Wed so I will mail out then.

I grow herbs! Each year or at least every other year I try something new: two years ago it was hyssop. Curry leaves didn't work out and I have never been able to grow cilantro which is most unfortunate.

A short list of herbs I grow and use often in the summer: salad burnet, lemon verbena, pineapple sage, etc.

My package from Kathy came today. Can't wait to use them.

Sugar with Vanilla Bean
Sea Salt with Vanilla Bean
Sumac

all are in such cute spice jars.

Caribbean Sweet Heat--Guess who will be having sweet potato wedges soon?

and a wonderful nutmeg grater packed full of whole nutmeg.

(I have been trying to post a photo but am having problems with photobucket.)

Oooh, sumac! You'll *really* like that. You should join us in the ongoing
NA*ME tag game to learn how to cook with it! Good stuff!!!

Looks good!!!
I'm curious about the vanilla products. Let us know how it is.

[PaulaG]

Kathy sent a paper telling about each spice and suggested uses. The vanilla sea salt was suggested for scallops and meaty white fish like alibut or cod. It did say to try it on squash or pumpkin soup as well as a topping for flourless chocolate cake. The one that really grabbed my attention was sweet and salty brownies.

The vanilla sugar can be sprinkled on cakes, cookies, and pancakes. It also great sprinkled on fresh berries or sprinkled on fresh pineapple and then broiled for a few minutes.

I received an email that LBJAN's package shipped yesterday and should arrive sometime this week.
