Fascinating! I love those little happy cooking accidents like the one in which you discovered the two might go well together. Thanks for sharing this -- I'm going to hang onto the recipe, and might try some other herbs in it, as well. Who knows...I might discover a fabulous combination as well!<BR/><BR/>Genie<BR/><A HREF="http://www.theinadvertentgardener.com" REL="nofollow">The Inadvertent Gardener</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32288436.post-1161600196107525552006-10-23T06:43:00.000-04:002006-10-23T06:43:00.000-04:00Brilynn,very interesting story!btw, Alice Medrich ...Brilynn,<BR/>very interesting story!<BR/>btw, Alice Medrich is one of my favorite bakers :DGattina Cheunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259299908195438080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32288436.post-1161440665936503662006-10-21T10:24:00.000-04:002006-10-21T10:24:00.000-04:00Very interesting idea.

They just don't have the flavour of outdoor herbs.<BR/><BR/>Can you taste the basil in your brownies?<BR/><BR/>Next year, make your own dried basil by hanging any of your garden fresh basil (that hasn't been used for pesto) upsidedown in the kitchen. The resulting dried basil actually smells like basil when it's crushed - much better than storebought dried basil.<BR/><BR/>-Elizabeth<BR/><BR/>P.S.
