Will do. I like most herbs but one, Turmeric. My bad because this would be the go to for a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Must be the reason there is no fondness to be found for Indian Cuisine. Use Thyme often and always have some on hand. This year the go to has been celery seed. When there is no celery in the house have found a bit of this sprinkled in a salad, soup, or stew does give a celery flavor with no crunch.

I agree that turmeric is pretty strong. I can handle it once in a while. But I do take turmeric capsules and that has been great for my knees. Luckily I don’t taste it at all.

Celery seed! I keep forgetting about it. I think it is vastly underutilized. It has such a delightful fresh aroma. I’m not real sure what to put it in though. i’m not real sure what to put in though. You said salads, soups, or stews – would you put it in a raw salad, like on lettuce? Or potato salad? I suppose we can go in anything and what you would normally put celery. I have to remember to use it more.

OK, New Year’s resolution added too – use more marjoram and celery seed! Coriander as well.
