And those ginger biscuits would go well with a nice cup of tea. I make everything with as little sugar as possible, so most store-bought treats taste way too sweet for me.Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161986605563092156.post-20492672643013167862015-09-28T14:02:29.269+13:002015-09-28T14:02:29.269+13:00Lightly dried herbs - a fantastic idea.

The herbs, however, are great. They work best when going on/in something liquid so they reconstitute slightly - eg I made a kind of fish ramen last week and sprinkled in the ginger, chilli and coriander to great effect.

Her question was something along the lines of, "So, you can use cheap cocoa to bake with and it doesn't matter then?" Little does she know! :-) Same goes for basic vanilla essence. While nothing is as good as Heilala for me, Pam's beats sickly sweet Hansells any day.Caffeinated Wekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235662962500264686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161986605563092156.post-8411244379284963932015-09-12T18:55:37.748+12:002015-09-12T18:55:37.748+12:00Those herbs do look quite appealing.

We've used the stuff in tubes by the same folk but found it lacking, and theoretically are going to establish a herb garden but probably that'll happen in about a decade... <br /><br />Totally with you on Pam's cocoa - so much better than the other supermarket offerings. Though I would also settle for Valhrona if I didn't have to pay for it.Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645883799759203673noreply@blogger.com
