Sooooooo. This is exactly the type of stuff I NEVER buy (esp. with a name like Gourmet Garden). But guess what...
I didn't! It was free!!
A selection of run-of-the-mill herbs (and spices) available in gel form, or "lightly" dried, found up in the salad zone at market.
I chose basil things, becuz my foreseeable menu required basil things. Label reads that it stays fresh for up to 4 months after opening, which is nice. Also says it's or-gan-ic... like I give a fuck, it was free.
1 TO 5 SCALE:
Taste= 4 (I guess... I mean it's basil)
Uses= ...multiple. (Yes, salad)
Creative Name= 0
Price= 10!
Good while it's lasting...

right right- another post that's not so about salad. i have a terrif salad spot coming up, but (please see title) i just had to post this: my latest attempt at some pad kee mao variation!
this one was really good, and real close to the taste i associate with the dish!
plentiful on the chili, but ran a little short on basil. also, i threw in some chin kong choy and skipped on the bean sprouts.
the only not-awesome point of the experience was watching a poorly dressed hipster try to hit on the cashier at A Grocery. he went so far as to inform her that he "even eat(s) with chopsticks"...searching for love in all the wrong places. actually, i don't know that this idiot has a soul-mate waiting anywhere, and he definitely didn't make me feel great about being the next white guy in line.
oh well, at least i can dress myself and cook...and just for full disclosure, i ate this food with a fork. jus sayin'.
