I Prefer the Aesthetics of Home-Dried Herbs

First, why does everyone I know say “erbs” but everyone I see from Britain calls them “herbs?”

Now that that’s out of the way. We’ve been growing our own herbs for a while. Our oregano is four feet wide. That’s about a foot a year. So, there’s a lot there and it was time to clean it up a bit.

In doing so, yesterday I cut a bunch off and dropped it into the dehydrator. I was sitting outside crumbling some of it into a jar whilst having a St. Arnold Fancy Lawnmower beer after mowing (side note, it is a refreshing outdoor beer).

Anywhere, when I was done and I went to put the lid on, I couldn’t help but notice that the home dried herbs, at least oregano, seem much more aesthetically pleasing to me than the minute crumbles you get from the grocery store.
