Great post as some of this was on my mind...
In Denver, Whole Foods actually had Herbs de Provance but it wasn't quite as good as what I purchased at the local Penzys spices. So I did a search and found that there's various recipes for it. This year for Christmas I made my own spice blend for a rub for red meats and since it went over so well, I thought it would be a great thing to start doing. Herbs de Provance was on my list!
I was curious if there was a local International Market. I'm a bit spoiled here and we have several. I know one Sunday morning I'm going to wake up and just have to have some green chile and eggs and tortillas and won't be satisfied until I get some!
So glad to hear that rosemary is available all year. Gracie Girl, we have a sage plant that I planted 17 years ago right out the back door and it's so beautiful. I thought rosemary would stick around, basil if in a portable pot for the winter...what other herbs are hardy? Maybe we can get an Herbs de Provance barrel started!
See you all Oct 1st!
