One of
the things I really missed when I decided to move out on my own was
being able to go outside and snip the herbs I needed for cooking or
just making a nice relaxing tea. I had forgotten how spoiled I felt by
only using fresh herbs and enjoying their fresh aroma while I chopped
them up or boiled them in water for some tea. We always had cilantro,
hierba Buena, oregano, basil, ruda, chilis, lemon/lime trees, nopales,
tomatoes, etc…. Pretty much anything that was used for cooking and
could grow in a back yard we had readily available. Then when I moved
out on my own, all of that was taken away :O(. I didn’t realize how
much I missed it until I would start to make something to eat and the
cilantro I bought a couple of days ago had started to wilt. Not good at
all! I found myself going to the store almost 4 or 5 days out of the
week just to make sure what I used was fresh.
