Herbs are great for adding flavor, too. And I know I should use more of them than I do of salt. But old habits are difficult to break.

 I grew up in a meat and potatoes family. Spices were–salt and pepper. Oh, and maybe a little chili powder when making–chili. And Dill was for pickles. So I never learned to use herbs in cooking. I’m still trying to adjust to flavor-filled cooking. And the different ways food tastes. It’s definitely a good thing to start young people out with lots of different herbs and spices, and less salt.

Although… “It is a true saying that a man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him.” Miguel deCervantes–Don Quixote

I’m sure eating herbs with a friend is as important–and perhaps will add a little variety and spice to your relationship.
