Then when you need them just add the ice cube to your dish - I've tried it with parsley and it works really well, but I haven't the patience to let things defrost naturally so it doesn't work (for me anyway) for anything uncooked. And cloves are just wonderful to smell - we used to be given them to chew on if we had toothache as children. <br />Filhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027496923235464642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-52744372654830119932019-01-17T00:23:17.474-05:002019-01-17T00:23:17.474-05:00I know ...
