    I’ve seen this idea going around and decided to give it a go!  The idea is to freeze your herbs in olive oil as a way to preserve them. To be honest, you can only really preserve so much before you start making enough olive oil ice-cubes to last for months! But I think, for…

    3 days, 36 solid hours. That’s the amount of time I spent this week learning how to conquer one of my biggest fears.
