Used to buy a bottle of Royall Bay Rhum after-shave lotion for Himself every Christmas when he worked. I would call it "Eau de Pot Roast". He smelled delicious.

RB, try putting some of the herb mixture in rice as it cooks. It would also be good added to any sautéed veggies as they cook. A couple of combinations I like are shallots and green beans, and zucchini, red bell pepper and onion.

Agree. Sounds like a plan.
When I chop herbs, I reserve them to a counter top small bowl and grab what i need as i cook.
Its great to have some when you serve soup for example. It makes the dish look so much more inviting and gives the dish another dimension.

A little around the edges of a plate or over the top make for interesting and pretty dishes.
I think presentation is almost as important as taste. Of coarse taste and presentation is my goal.
