It's About Thyme!

Do you have thyme on your hands?  Well okay then, Lets learn more about thyme. Thyme is often used to flavour meats, soups and stews. It has a particular affinity to and is often used as a primary flavour with lamb, tomatoes and eggs. Thyme, while flavourful, does not overpower and blends well with other herbs and spices.
I had it on a fried egg this morning, loved it! A sprinkle of thyme no salt and a bit of black pepper. I add thyme to my soups and stews. I've used parsley, basil, oregano all these years but it was about time I tried thyme. Many recipes call for it but it was just one spice I kept passing up. Why I don't know but the thyme was right to finally get some. I will be looking for fresh thyme this summer too. Maybe I should plant some.
Thyme has many uses and has been used for centuries, what took me so long! I guess for some people, like me,  it just just takes thyme to sync in. LOL
If you have the thyme just check out the info on it at Wikipedia. If you don't have thyme right now, oh well. All I have these days is, THYME!  :-)

Happy Green Days of Summer to You!
