Rosemary: like or dislike? Recipe
by Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)

Welcome to Like or Dislike, where you get to share how you really feel about ingredients from the pantry, ingredients I'm thinking about adding to my pantry, other seasonal foods, and favorite cooking gear. The things you like are sure to find their way to the recipes here on The Perfect Pantry, so do tell.

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme: thanks to Simon and Garfunkel, when I plant one, I feel obligated to plant them all. Parsley and thyme became the mainstays of my herb garden at the log house, and I could use them both in most any recipe. A hardy sage bush lasted for years, though I harvested the leaves infrequently. Rosemary, not so much. The strong flavor has never been a favorite in our house. Rosemary isn't hardy here in New England, so every year I drive to the garden center, buy a new plant, dutifully tend it, and hardly ever harvest it. Do you cook with rosemary? What are your favorite ways to use it?

Last week: measuring spoons. Everyone's got them, but not everyone uses them all the time. And one lucky reader has magnetic measuring spoons -- new to me!
