I'm slowly replacing my dry spices and tried drying my own recently. I'm LOVING it! I keep fresh parsley and cilantro on hand anyway and I needed to replace the dry parsley so I chopped up the fresh very finely and spread it thin on a small plate. I set it up high in the kitchen out of direct sunlight and water spray and it dried beautifully in two days. I ended up with about an ounce of dry parsley and I need about 2 1/2 so I've got another batch drying now. I think they charge about $2 for that at the store!!! Cilantro, onions and mushrooms are up next!
Oh- also, I need to start planning this year's miniature farm. I'll need to buy seeds for the garden soon. I'm seriously debating whether i'll start them indoors or not. Either way, I need to buy them when there is a good selection. So far I've decided on: italian parsley, cilantro, spinach, romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, (some) cayenne peppers, (some) jalapenos, bell peppers and grape tomatoes.
