I'm probably way behind most herb enthusiasts in having just picked the last of my kitchen herbs tonight. I meant to do it last night and got sidetracked and then we had a freeze. Oops. But they were still fine so I washed them and prepared them for drying. Of course there was just a tiny bit of basil left since I have been picking it all summer long and using it in pasta dishes. Nothing beats fresh basil. There was plenty of parsley so all the buns got a sprig which they happily scarfed up. Also some sage and oregano. I just love the fragrance the fresh herbs give to my kitchen.
