Mouth is watering, just in anticipation! Even better, is a visit with Daughter!
I have them all written down for her, just need to show her the stash.
Oddly I have no oregano plants but 6 basil plants. I eat that stuff on everything. I have an African basil plant- tastes like Thai basil but leaves are purple and a bit thicker
I'm neutral towards basil. Fine on a pizza but I won't go out of my way to chow down on a bowl of it. Not a fan of tarragon.
Tarragon tastes of burnt roadkill black licorice. Certainly needs a very light touch.
I love the freshness that basil provides, it's a game changer for me, and I do enjoy the dried Italian oregano too. No thyme for me, thank you very much. My wife will often make fresh basil pesto with her basil plants.
It's getting tougher and tougher to justify going out to eat. Sorry your time, appetite, and money was wasted.
You nailed it. Not sure how long you have lived in PNW - and not focused on one type of food - but in general restaurants have sucked, especially in smaller towns until the restaurant renaissance - probably started when late baby boomers (b 1955-1964) became affluent middle agers ca 2005 or so. There are many laggards to this day. And they made it through C-19
Every day is Avocado Day!
