Spray Anything

AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!

I had no idea that the adding of dill to egg salad would be so utterly delicious. I tipped them my last dollar. I now have a nickle and a penny that clanky together unreasonably loudly when I walk around.

If I could find a way to sneak my too-small underwear back to my office from the bathroom, I'd be free-balling right about now.

A man-purse would solve both problems.

I'm a little wary of anyone who brings anything into the bathroom with them.

I switched the penny to the other pocket, so I'm halfway home.

tuna salad with dil == also mightily delicious. egg salad totally rocks, tho!!! I'm envious.

"dil"? I think I'm going insane.

Do you buy dill as a spice or as a vegetable? I'm assuming the former, but I'm heading into uncharted territory here.

Never been a big tuna fan, but the best meal I've ever had was a tuna melt sandwich on a flight from Chicago to Orlando (as the previous flight from Appleton to Chicago, my first time ever in an airplane, had me clearing out the contents of my stomach repeatedly). It also included a Fun Sized Crunch bar.

I do believe it is a spice, sir.

Amendment:

Actually, it would be an herb, but dried herbs would be sold mixed into the spice section.

You can also purchase fresh dill, which would probably sold with or near fresh vegetables. But if you don't know where to buy it, spending a bunch extra for the fresh kind is probably a waste of money.

I appreciate the info, thanks.

Both, kinda. You can get dried dill in the spice aisle. But better supermarkets will also have it fresh, in the produce section. Sort of like basil.

I think fresh would do more for the egg salad, but that dried would do if you wanted to keep it around.

Appreciate the info - any ideas for what else to use it in?

I can't remember how strict a vegetarian you are, but fresh dill is excellent on fish. Just broil the fish, melt some butter, chop up some dill (or add some dried) and brush it over the top.

I think I've also used it in potato salad. And on baked eggs [I don't have a recipe handy, but it's from my red-and-white checked Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, so any old-fashioned basic cookbook can probably tell you how, though not so much on scrambled or fried although it might be worth a try since it's so good on egg salad. It's good on carrots, too.

Neither of us like fish, but we've also not had it in a long time. I appreciate the info.

I think that red and white checked cookbook should come with when you buy a house.

Mine came from my grandmother, the first year I lived in an apartment instead of a dorm in college.

I mean, I like to cook, and to experiment with Asian or Middle Eastern and Cajun cuisines, but sometimes I just need to know how long I'm supposed to steam broccoli or what goes into a white sauce or how to bake ordinary yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

I have to look up how long it takes to cook a hard-boiled egg every. single. time.

First thought: "That's what pockets are for ...
Second thought: "Why don't you just flush it down the toilet?"

Alas, the pocket option worked wonders.
