Spices

I am quickly loosing interest in salt. There are too many other spices that are a lot more interesting. I'm sure that salt is important for preserving, etc, but Rosemary and Thyme are a little more exciting to my taste buds.
Today I made a vegan potato soup. I think if I would have used fresh herbs it would have tasted a bit more springy. Today has been so cold and rainy I felt like soup was in order. I threw in some dried herbs. It was a lighter soup than you are probably used to but it was filling.

I have been craving sweet all day, so I went to the store and bought some dried apples and fruit leathers...what I really want is a HUGE box of fresh chocolate truffles...*sigh*  Tomorrow I'll be making a strawberry whip with tofu for dessert.
