I always appreciate new ways to flavor dishes, and that’s why I accepted an offer to try Gourmet Garden cold-blended, stir-in pastes.
These pastes are 115-g. squeezable tubes of various herbs and spices, such as lemongrass, coriander and parsley. I found them locally at Metcalfe’s for $4.99.

Lucky me! I accepted invitations to try some pretzels and beer. Let’s eat first.
Several years ago, I read an article that said most people don’t wash adequately their fruits and vegetables. As a result, I started using paper towels or towels to further scrub the surface of fruits and vegetables, especially ones from my CSA, after rinsing them off.
