I was looking up recipes the other day to try and mix it up a bit. There was one that called for a small amount of basil, which I thought no problem I’ll add that to the list for the grocery store. Turns out, fresh herbs are a vile ripoff. The store wanted $3-5 for a small package of what looked like a few leaves. Forget that. I went to Trader Joes and bought the plant for the same price. It’s growing strong producing more than I need. Once again, the dehydrator proves it’s awesomeness. I can dehydrate the excess and grind them into powder for the little spice bottles. If I had the time, this would be a legit business.
