Leftovers #25 ~ Herbs

How does one have leftover herbs when, I assume, they are used on a daily basis. In the shops here, herbs are package and sold in bundles or pre washed, pre-cut plastic containers filled with a herb of choice... they are also sold dried in glass or plastic bottles and cellophane pouches. All are readily available and sold all year round.  

If a particular herb is bought for a specific recipe and not all is used then I guess it is alright to classify it as a leftover. Leftover herbs are easy to incorporate into ones cooking or baking. Therefore I do not think you will be surprised as to how I ended up using the remainder of chives; as chives can be added to just about any cooking or baking.  

 First off some were used to make these lovely scones... cheesy chive with a subtle buttery flavour.


And the rest went to make these creamy buttery chive mashed potatoes. 


Hope everyone is having a good week so far. A very delicate chilly snowfall has made a presence this morning. Stay warm! - JD
