Dried
Herb combos
If you are like me you could fill your whole kitchen with every kind of
herb, and I found that out while provisioning. So, what I did was
combine oregano, basil, marjoram and rosemary into one large container marked
"Italian Seasoning", and the same for hot spices and marked them
"Creole", and a couple other mixes for "Greek", "Chinese"
and "Curry". So far the only separate seasonings I've
had to go out and repurchase have been cumin and basil, but they were just
little bottles. More about seasonings as I go on. You may need
to make up what constitutes these combinations for you, but if you are taking
along your favorite cookbook, check it out, usually the same herb combinations
are used over and over again. Don"t forget to buy a large bottle
of Bay Leaves to put in your bags of rice, flour, and other grains.
I guess Bay discourages bug larvae from hatching, and that can only be a
good thing.
