EAT this ZombyPoll!

[Zomby Woof]

Add some spice to the Lounge! :bounce:

[La_Serpiente]

1. Saffron

Saffron yeah :-) :toast:

[alwynsw]

3. But who wants to pick it?

At 250,000 stamens per pound, I'm too old, fat and tired to do it.

Don't ask me how I remembered that tidbit.

[Rowdyboy]

2. I think just a little curry would spice things up!

Tasty, but not overwhelming

[nuxvomica]

4. Ahem, some of these are herbs, not spices. I vote for basil.

Which also isn't a spice but I guess it would be pointless to have a herb poll. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

7. If it was an herb poll

Then I'd have to add Alpert, and an anthropomorphic VW beetle, and I just don't have the time! :-)

[jmowreader]

29. An herb poll?

Maui Wowie
Thai Stick
Oaxaca
Acapulco Gold
BC
Sinsemilla
Colombian
Panama Red
Other
Don't partake

Now that's an herb poll!

[Rhiannon12866]

37. I voted for oregano, which is also an herb

I would have voted for basil, as well, if it had been listed. This is my favorite, also. I make my own pesto sauce, which is one of my favorite things.:9

[Maddy McCall]

5. Cumin...come on!

Don't you like Mexican dishes? ;-)

[Zomby Woof]

6. hell yeah!

I knew I should have included it, but I am still delirious with Iowa happiness. :D

[LynneSin]

8. Parsley is not a spice - it's a decoration

:D

[arwalden]

11. QEFTSG Says Suggests That Dried Parsley Be Used For "Confetti"

Definitely not a spice.

[Zomby Woof]

24. LOL

Well, for the dried confetti stuff (lol, Allen) I take a large pinch in my palms, and rub them together vigorously, getting the most flavor out while they sprinkle upon the food. I usually do that with pasta sauces and over chicken.

As for the decoration, I admit I eat those! I like leaving a clean playe. :-)

[pscot]

26. You rub the pasta sauces between your palms?

I've never seen Emeril do that. We learn something new every day.

[gator_in_Ontario]

9. Garlic! n/t

[arwalden]

10. CUMIN and CHILI POWDER

[buddhamama]

12. other

garlic and basil. Yummmmm!!! :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

20. garlic rules!!!

But I was going by my spice rack, and not the bulb sitting on the counter, lol.

I also have bay leaves, ginger, cinnamon, mustard, nutmeg, and peppercorns. :bounce:

[buddhamama]

31. okay spill it

i wanna know what took place between you and Basil to cause such animosity!

[Zomby Woof]

32. I LOVE basil!

That is must on chicken too!

I am herb and spice freak!! I could bathe in them! :D

(I usually buy it fresh, so none on my rack or in my cupboard)

[trof]

13. I really like rosemary.

I think she likes me back.
:loveya:

[rbnyc]

14. My husband says Bay Leaf.

I hate pulling those damn things out of my food. He just loves them.

[Zomby Woof]

23. here's a tip!

If you use bay leaf in a stew, or similar dish, you can buy one of those tea steepers - those metal jobbies, lol - and put the bay leaf in those! All you have to do before serving is remove the steeper, and voila! All of the spice, and none of the hassle! :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

15. Sage!!!

Pasta tossed with butter and sage is so simple, yet so tasty! :9

[blindpig]

16. where's rosemary?

her baby is in the whitehouse.

[slackmaster]

19. It's growing in my side yard

I had to chop down about 90% of the foliage this fall because it was starting to take over. Right now it's covered with lavendar colored flowers and the bees are having a blast.

I can't believe the stores can sell rosemary in San Diego. Some people literally use Rosmarinus oficinalis as hedges in my neighborhood, and the wild kind that grows in the canyons is just as good to eat.

[slackmaster]

17. Nice to see I'm not the only marjoram fan here

I love it !

:toast:

[Zomby Woof]

22. I won't roast chicken without it!

Espcially when I cook chicken in the crock pot with some dumplings. :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Garlic goes into everything (just about) that I eat....

so maybe I should rethink that stinky Packer post,eh? :P

[Zomby Woof]

21. It keeps the vampires and freepers away!

:D

[Zomby Woof]

25. burp

[Catshrink]

27. Tarragon....

mmmmmmm, tarragon, white wine, butter. slobber slobber.....

[Zomby Woof]

28. you just got drool on my screen!

:o :hi:

[Catshrink]

34. Sorry!

Not.... I actually have tarragon growing in my garden. Fresh tarragon. mmmmmmm.

[trof]

30. Tarragon chicken salad

next time you make chicken salad, throw in a handful of tarragon.
Mmmmmm

[Catshrink]

33. Hmmmmmm tarragon chicken salad

and beer.... mmmmmm beer.

[Zomby Woof]

35. great!

Now I am hungry AND thirsty!

(Or as Ralph Wiggam once said, "happy AND angry!") :D

[Whitacre D_WI]

36. Anybody who watched "Firefly"

Would say Saffron.


Yummy.
