Geezzzzz.....
I wouldn't want to eat in your kitchen

I put dill weed on almost everything. Particularly good on tuna
sandwiches (tuna mixed with mayo, dill weed, garlic powder, a squirt of
liquid smoke, and a pinch of cayenne), spread on a whole grain bread.

My top use for dill weed is in eggs. Scrambled or any other form. Lots
of dill weed, some garlic powder, black pepper, liquid smoke, and some
season-all. (no salt, since the Season-all <a Morton product> has it).

Dill also goes well on mashed potatoes and rice.

If you dont use dill weed on anything else, try it on eggs, it's
awesome.

My top spices used a
Dill Weed
Garlic Powder (not salt)
Cayenne
Liquid Smoke
and one of the pre-made mixes such as "Season-all".

"Spike" is even better than "Season-all" but hard to find in the stores,
and I refuse to pay $6 to ship a $3.50 bottle of the stuff.
