Thanks so much for your articles. When I did some serious "pinching", I ended up with a beautiful bouquet of herbs = decorative on the kitchen counter, wonderful fragrance and delicious in our food. Thanks for your wonderful advice!
I didn't think of that as I was writing, but you're right -- it's not only Thai basil that has pretty blooms! I've done the same thing, making a bouquet of oregano and basil blooms. Rosemary makes a wonderful bouquet on its own or as "filler" for a bouquet of flowers. It smells wonderful, and it stays fresh for a week on the counter with a few water changes!
My MIL cuts a bouquet of fresh herbs to take with them when they head to the beach for a week in their trailer.
If all your pinching has led to a bigger harvest of fresh herbs than you can use up... well, tomorrow's article has some ideas about putting herbs up for winter use!
