Seasoning with Rosemary

Rosemary tastes good -- at least to some of us -- on meat or potatoes. Put it on food before cooking the food.

It's usually sold as whole 'needles', looking sort of like spruce needles. You can cook with whole rosemary, but I recommend grinding it into small pieces. If you have a spare grinder, like a pepper-grinder, you can try putting rosemary through it. Or you can use a SHARP knife to chop it small.

Sample recipe: wash and chop about 2 pounds of potatoes. Dump them into a deep baking dish, pour a little cooking oil on, sprinkle salt and about half a teaspoonful of chopped rosemary on, mix thoroughly (adding more oil if you think it's needed), put dish in oven. Bake at about 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour and a quarter, maybe hour and a half.
