ooh I like that idea for grilling! :-)
I've never tried that, thanks!!!

You can do this with the stalks of any of your herbs: sage in particular is
very nice.

I was just thinking that... ;-)
I have lots of sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano and basil in season.
I often end up with far more herbs in the herb garden than I can cook
with. I think throwing some FRESH herbs on the coals could produce
interesting results?

I'm also growing a Mexican oregano. It's gonna get hyooge so will
provide a lot of growth for meat smoking experiments.

Thanks for the idea! I appreciate it.
