Last Wednesday I got a surprise bag from one of my friends 😉 It was totally unexpected! Let me show you what I got from her garden!
The greens should be beet greens. I noticed that the stems were wrapped in a wet paper towel for keeping them fresh. Oh my goodness! I know how busy my friend is, especially in the morning before going to work. No words can describe my feeling!
I’ve also found chives and chive flowers! I found an interesting recipe, how to make chive flower vinegar, which I’m adding to my cooking todo list for later. For this time I arranged the chive flowers as just “regular” flowers. They look great indeed!
Honestly, I do not know what exactly is one of the herbs… can anybody help? I thought it could be oregano but not really… it has a nice bitterness. I haven’t asked my friend yet.
This surprise bag made me feel so warm. It was not only just greens but also love from my friend! Thank you so much!

Thank you for encouraging me! I’m so glad to hear that even though I have a long way to go to get photos that I want. 😉
I dislike dried oregano usually but the fresh is very nice!
I absolutely agree with you! Fresh herbs have more aromas, flavors! Thank you!
What a thoughtful gift! Perfect for investigating new flavors and recipes, no doubt.
Yes! My friend is so thoughtful! I’m so lucky, right? Thank you for your nice words!

You alwasy give me the best compliment indeed! I read your comment more than 20 times!! It makes me so happy! Thank you, Cara!
It might be marjoram, although I’ve neither grown it nor tasted fresh. I use quite a lot in salads with beetroot. Lovely warm after taste.
Forgot to give you this link:. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjoram
Thank you for your help! Apprantaly it is OREGANO!! I asked my friend for it. She said that it is oregano! hahaha Maybe it was too fresh so that’s why, I could not figure it out exactly!! 😉
That looks like mint to me. Perhaps?
You know what? hahaha my friend told me that it is oregano!! haha how! Thank you for helping me up!
