On one of our recent semi-yearly trips to Amish country in Pennsylvania, we stopped by a farmer's market (a real one, actually run by the families of local farmers) and bought their dried Herbs de Provence blend. Again, all locally and organically grown.
It was fantastic! We put it on a lot of things, but our faves seem to be in a compound butter for fish, or blended into sour cream to go on baked spuds. It's so good.
Then, the last time we went back, the market was gone. No info if they will open again. No more HdP.
So the remaining half cup or so of the blend is now a prized posession in my house. We all jealously fight over not using too much because there will probably be more after it runs out.
I even snuck a few pinches and hid them away 8n the back of the highest cabinet in the kitchen in a container labelled dried corn smut.
I hope no one takes a liking to dried corn smut.
