Took a few leaves of some of my herbs and tried out mixing them together in an open faced sandwich. Took some sage, pineapple sage, cuban oregano, mint( java mint, pepper mint, and choco mint), basil and arugula for a sandwich I was gonna make. So I washed them up, cut everything up in a chiffonade (roll ‘em up and cut them into strips) to nicely distribute the leaves into the sandwich. Got some nice hungarian salami in the freezer and put one piece per slice of bread. Then I put the cut up herbs on top of the salami, then a few cuts of el cheapo quick melt cheese, some slices of regular grocery tomatoes and voila, a sandwich. Toasted them up nicely and then at the end a splash of extra virgin olive oil.

I did this so I could find out how fresh sage, mint, oregano and pineapple sage would taste like. You know what? They tasted great! I’m not much of a fan of mint and I just turned into convert. I love mint now! It went great with the salami. I just got a hint of the taste, the oregano, the pineapple sage, and sage was really awesome in it too. Growing your own food is such a rewarding activity. I wish more people would do the same.

Been growing most of the ingredients. ‘Cept for the tomato. Sure would love more tomatoes on my plants but then I guess they’re just too small to have any.
