Wherever you would use the herb they are infused with, you can use the herb salt. I prefer it as finishing salt most of the time. It will be a wonderful gift - not something you necessarily splurge in purchasing for yourself but such a wonderful addition to cooking! Stay cozy with that woodstove. Our pellet stove is running right now as we'll dip into the low 30's tonight.Staci Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067119970666863558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-85528721546040165562022-10-18T09:14:27.372-04:002022-10-18T09:14:27.372-04:00It's my first time making herb salts. Do you ...It's my first time making herb salts. Do you have suggestions on how to use them? I don't think I've ever used them, and not sure what to tell those I gift them to. <br />Our first frost is supposed to arrive tonight, so I'll be gathering the last of everything tender today. The woodstove was back in commission last night. It's such nice heat. Have a cozy week!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-37624941479723357552022-10-17T21:24:16.519-04:002022-10-17T21:24:16.519-04:00That's too bad about the kiwis.

A great idea! <br /><br />So sweet about J staying to fix the water leak. Happy to hear it was a fairly easy fix. Too bad he missed the services and seeing classmates but I'm sure it was a relief for him to have the leak taken care of.<br /><br />Too funny about Guinness. Good thing you have the outdoor shower!!<br /><br />We've had a couple nights of light frost and have been running the pellet stove in the mornings to take the chill off. I love it! Have a wonderful week!Staci Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067119970666863558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-22973508633134321022022-10-17T09:24:57.309-04:002022-10-17T09:24:57.309-04:00I don't do anything with the strawberries, and...I don't do anything with the strawberries, and they always seem to come back just fine. Of course, we never get fruit. We intend to renovate their area, though not sure when we'll get to it. Wishing you a cozy week, Daisy!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-14271522811846220462022-10-17T07:39:35.879-04:002022-10-17T07:39:35.879-04:00Your meals sound so good.

My mom made the best I'd ever tasted.<br /><br />Sorry to hear J had to miss his event, but totally understandable. I'm sure he was there in spirit.<br /><br />Yes, we are getting ready to bundle up! Do you cover your strawberries to protect them from frost? I'm new at growing strawberries, so I thought I would add a layer of mulched leaves.<br /><br />Enjoy your week. I hope you've got lots of warm blankets to keep you toasty!daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.com
