They'll make anything, huh?

My ex-wife liked Woodchuck cider. It was a bit sweet for my tastes. We both liked Taylor's teas. Red Gold diced tomatoes are a staple item in my pantry.

Star anise is something you either like or you don't. I don't. I would suggest you test it our in something, perhaps a cup of tea, before making a big batch of mulled wine with it.

I've started running low on certain spices and it was time to replenish them. I use a lot of oregano and I decided to go big this time, a 24 oz. bottle of oregano.

That's a lot of oregano. I grow it instead but don't keep up with how fast it grows out here. Mind you, the plants I had in the UK took over their corner of the herb patch (and more).

My oregano has spread from one small plant, to a patch about six feet wide and four feet deep. I didn't dry any this year, yet. I may still do it.

I just freeze the leaves as is. That's all I do for most of my fresh herbs. I even have a decent dehydrator and I don't dry them...

The group of green spices and herbs I use a lot are oregano, basil, cilantro, marjoram, thyme and rosemary.

I have on order a 16 oz. bag of basil and an 8 oz. bag of thyme. I probably should get more marjoram and cilantro too.

Basil, oregano (two variations) and rosemary all grow easily in the garden; in fact, one of the oregano plants has been there over 10 years. When it needs pruning, I dry the leaves on a tray in the kitchen.
I avoid using dried herbs in general, especially when fresh are both cheap and readily available.

Strawberry & orange creams, toffee fingers and honeycomb. Everyone else seems to hate the strawberry one 🤣

I love the fruit flavors, something I got hooked on through Thorntons strawberry Dreams. Unfortunately those are impossible to get here.
