Herb listings

Sounds like an excellent idea - maybe that way I could remember to get stuff I am out of instead of ending up with 3 jars of cardomom pods and no nutmeg...

Then there are the mysterious plastic tubs proclaiming to be peppercorns but instead containing red powder or something green and herb-like. Serves me right for trying to re-use containers when I am out of labels.

Investigation while making that list revealed that several Schwartz jars, claiming to hold Parsley, the Italian Seasoning Mix, and Cajun Mix, actually held cinnamon sticks. Which, of course, I couldn't find before... those jars are in a drawer, with the names on the lids - there is no spice rack capable of holding the whole collection, only about a third.

and what the hell is Lagoudokymethia when it's at home?

I was waiting for someone to ask that, and the proper answer is that I'm not sure. I picke dit up in Crete, and the label says that it's good as a tea for stomach upsets, blood pressure and a few other ailments. It's a slightly minty tasting stuff, if I'm remembering the right one. Must see if I can find any more details in any of my herbals.
