Need Mint ?? Need Basil??

There are some recipes that call for large amounts of mint. There are also recipes that call for large amounts of basil. If it is the height of the summer gardening season you can go in to your herb garden and pick gallons or either. However, what will you do if it is February or March and you want a cup or two of either herb??

If you are in Richmond, VA just drive over to Little Saigon (Hermitage & Broad) to the Tan-A Market and buy a nice size bag of either herb for $1.00 !! Yes folks you read about it here. This market sells a sandwich size plastic bag of mint and/or basil for One Dollar!! Of course you could always go over to Ukrops, Fresh Market or El Thom and pay around $2 for a tiny, tiny plastic carton of either. You will have to ask the employees which bag contains which (if your sniffer is not up to snuff).
