I laid down some waxed paper and gently rubbed the tips of the fennel spray to remove the seeds without crushing them.
Rolled up the waxed paper and used it as a funnel to put the seeds in a jar. I didn't get a lot, but enough for one recipe of probably.
Next up was the thyme.
I got a lot more of that! And hope I got all the woody stems picked out.
I bought these Chalky Talky labels on Amazon, along with the chalk pen. They are supposed to be removable and reusable, so we'll see!
While I was pouring things in jars and labeling things, I decided to label two spice and herb mixes I had made. You always think you are going to remember what they are, but sooner or later you forget!
I had a rub I use for tri-tip roasts, and a faux Herbes de Provence I had to make one time when I didn't have the real stuff. Those got labels.
And I bought some sumac and some za'atar down at the Kansas City River Market on Saturday. One scoop for $2! Turns out one scoop = two spice jars. I poured those in jars and labeled them as wells.
