Disappointed

Unfortunately, the herbs I bought from Target did not last when potted and placed outside. They came in a plastic container, and they still had the brown tangle of roots and soil at the boom - so I assumed they would be fine to place into some potted soil with some water.

I was wrong :-/

Thyme is a beautiful herb. Unless it's dead. Then it is a flattened, jumbled mess of...gross-ness. The dill similarly did not survive the summer in a pot, and is no more.

However, Casey is doing quite well and her leaves continue to be bright green! We will be going out of town this weekend, but fortunately the Stewarts will be caring for both our dog and our basil plant. And we'll be gone just overnight. Not to worry!

Last night we had an excellent dinner. It was not basil-based, but flavorful nonetheless. Here is the recipe for Chicken Almondine - it was quite easy to make and will be a quick go-to dinner when the fall comes in full force. Yum!

Tonight, Mike and I will be going to our favorite pizza joint - Namoli's. A taste of NYC right in...Apex! Should be a fabulous Wednesday night date.
