With shrooms my friend brought tons of other. Bell peppers, green onions, spinach and parsley. The parsley is one bunch. I use parsley in soups but it is usually a dehy. What can I do special with fresh before it decays? I trimmed it out and have 2 cups not flattened or better.
She paid .39 lb for the nicest bell peppers ever. Somewhere in NJ. Im in PA.. |

The peppers here are coming from Mexico right now. NJ won't be producing for a few months yet. |

She paid .39 lb for the nicest bell peppers ever. Somewhere in NJ. Im in PA. That's cheap for bell peppers! I add parsley to everything. Salads such as tuna, potato, pasta, even green salads. Can add to pretty much any casserole, gravy, pasta sauce. Really good for parsleyed potatoes. Use whatever kind you have. Either canned, or boiled fresh ones. Waxy potatoes work best IMO. If they are large, cut them in chunks. Once cooked/heated through, drain them and add butter, snipped parsley, and pepper. Can also snip on top of a baked potato. Also nice with roasted or boiled carrots. |

Put sprigs in a salad. Salad greens don't have to be 100% lettuce. Make tabouli. You can make tabouli with roasted cauliflower instead of bulgur, which might be easier for you to find.

Regular flat Italian parsley and reg cilantro taste almost the same in the produce section of most sprmkts. It was "organic parsley" that got me started into "organic". I'm sure most of you know the story, as I've repeated it often enough. Try the "organic" offerings (if yer fave store has 'em), as organic is NOT always the best choice. ![]() nb |

OMG, it was awful. I haven't used any dill ever since. lol |

My favorite use for fresh dill is to chop some up and add it when I marinate leftover grilled salmon in a lemon vinaigrette. Cindy Hamilton |

There are jillions of tabouli recipes without mint. Authentic? Who cares. Now we can debate whether tabouli is a parsley salad with bulgur or a bulgur salad with parsley. Cindy Hamilton |

Where some people might garnish boiled potatoes with a bit of dill they would toss a big bunch of it into the cooking water. |

Cold and then blazing hot. What I do is buy the bunch that is available at my supermarket in late summer. I fold it in half, and first roll up in plastic wrap and then in foil and the freeze. When I want some dill I grab the frozen stuff and mince what I want off of the fronds and then re-wrap and put it back in the freezer. Much more satisfactory than the dried stuff. Janet US |

I have no problem growing it. We have sandy loam, winter temperatures that rarely go below -0 F and summers in the 80s. My only problem is that the stuff I grow looks different from the stuff I buy. It is a paler green and much less lush looking. It tastes the same. I have to remember to trim it back frequently to stop it from bolting. |

The people who put the stuff back in the wrong place might not be the idiots who can't tell one from the other. They might just be lazy jerks. It's the responsibility of the buyer to make sure he's getting what he intended, regardless of how badly stocked something it. Cindy Hamilton |

Thanks for all suggestions. I am going with the Persian herb frittata found in Janet's link.
Freezing was also in mind as suggested. Side note on dill. We grow (it grows) beautifully. My pickle recipe made it into Taste of Home hardcover cookbook. Nothing special but here it is. Half tsp mckormic pickle spice 1 cup vinegar 1 third cup kosher salt 1 half cup sugar 2 q water Ton of trimmed dill Half ton of garlic Kirbys cut in 4 or 6 pcs You know the rest. Simmer 20, cool for 10, dump into jars with kirbys in them. My 24 hour pickles. |

I think it's higher nitrogen count that promotes leaf growth? Looked it up: "Nitrogen regulates the growth of stems and leafy green foliage. Feeding your plants with a fertilizer high in nitrogen promotes rapid growth in leaves and stems. The plants that benefit the most from nitrogen are grasses, herbs and leafy vegetables." |

Oh so incorrect.... Atheism is in fact a lack of belief. What you are saying the same as having no belief in santa claus is a belief -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |
