When people put herbs in scrambled eggs, which ones do they use?

Maybe get some dot stickers or the square ones or some masking tape if you're feeling ghetto and label the tops?

Oh, and to answer your original post, I generally put hot sauce in my eggs, but I also have herbes de provence lying around from a cooking experiment that taste pretty good too. Eggs are an excellent use of spices-we-bought-for-that-one-dish.

I keep thinking I'm going to buy a better spice rack, but it's never floated to the top of the priority list. I probably should admit it's not going to happen and go ahead and label the caps!

Mmm, herbes de provence. That (those?) I've tried. I got a jar in a gift pack once, and the only place I've used it so far has been in eggs. :-)

Nothing wrong with a drawer... keeps them in the dark like you're supposed to!

I want something that makes the bottom of the drawer zigzaggy, so they all lie down in nice little rows. ("Zigzaggy." I fail at English composition today. I mean something like this.) I'm sure it doesn't have to be pricey, I just never got to the point of doing it.

This sort of thing (http://www.amazon.com/Vance-Spice-Drawer/dp/B0006IWT4G/ref=pd_sbs_k_6) looks easy to trim to fit and just set in your drawer, and it's not expensive. :)

A little herb garden is not much effort and so much more awesome than dried herbs. I have some perennials (thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage - at least they're perennial around here :-) ready now, dill and cilantro coming up, basil in a couple of months. Bonus, you don't need to label anything once you know what it looks like :-)

(And of course the mint. How could I forget the mint? How could I stop the mint from taking over the world? Arggh burble choke mint tendrils everywhere.)
