I don't blog but poor hubby and li'l kid both go through all (minus the photographing/re-checking on computers etc...) the hardship you confessed. <br />Wanted to share something similar I do with Mint and Basil, I mean McWv dried mint and basil. I wash the leaves, drain them on a kitchen towel for an hr or two and then spread them on the McWv turntable, mcwv for 2 mins on high, let them stand in the oven for 5mins and then store in a glass bottle.
