Favorite Things #1

My favorite Herb is Thyme!

I used to grow some in my herb garden. It is the key ingredient in a good fried chicken recipe, and the aroma becomes more potent when dried. The easiest way to store it is to dry it. (I just left it on the counter on a paper towel for a few days or you could use a dehydrator)  Then you can easily pull the leaves of and store that way or grind them into a powder. (Coffee grinders work great for herbs)
