Wawa's Ramblings

We bought a couple of plants at the nursery. Finally saw a pot of rosemary which I have been searching for since the previous one withered away while we were in Fremantle. We were reminded not to pluck the leaves, but to cut them if needed. I always love the smell of fresh herbs and they are great when used in cooking red meats. Such herbs are normally available only in supermarkets like Cold Storage and even then, they have limited supply. On a number of occassions, I have been frustrated with making a special trip down to the supermarket only to discover that they have run out of thyme or rosemary.

Also picked up a pot of mint leaves and a chilli plant. Wasn't sure if the chilli is the fiery chilli padi (bird's eye chilli) or the normal ones. 4 chillies have sprouted out since and we cut one for dinner last night. The chilli was fresh and crunchy with just the right amount of heat. Hope our new plants will fluorish and last till Christmas, at the very least.
