  1. Last night I bought some fresh organically grown parsley for my lasagna
    this weekend (which is my signature dish). Is there a difference
    taste-wise to organically grown herbs?

    Doubtful.

    Yes, no, maybe, but the difference would have absolutely nothing to do with
    being grown organically. Since produce doesn't come from a food replicating
    computer, like in Star Trek, there are inconsistencies and there will always
    be differences.

    I just read that it reduces exposure to synthetic pesticides and
    fertilizers. If there's no difference in taste then I'm going to keep on
    buying it.

    You just learned that about organic produce? The part about chemicals?

    Well, it's true. There's no guaranteed consistency in living things. This
    year, my green peppers have thicker walls than last year. Same seeds, same
    soil, same planting location. And, my parsley's half the size it was last
    year. Same seeds, same soil blah blah blah.

    Hey.. *my* parsley (techincally organic since I did nothing to it) can
    beat up your parsley...!

    My parsley and oregano can kick your parsley and sorrel's asses! And
    don't let my savory get behind you either! The chives are only there as
    a diversion.

    I'll bet my Mexican Oregano bush is bigger than your Rosemary. ;-)
    I know it towers over mine!
