I had a striking similar meal this evening, only with salmon and additional veg.

Made a light mushroom sauce (touch of crushed garlic) to pour over after to was done roasting/baking.

Very healthy and very tasty Simple too!

edit: Chicken is my preference, the salmon was on offer and i couldn't resist a few slices for a few quid. you can use any meat at all apart from shell fish and even that could work.

Ohhh that sounds good! I am not a big fan of salmon but I sure do love a good mushroom sauce. I wanted to make a sauce with the mushrooms instead of using them in the dish but I really liked the flavor without a sauce and the mushrooms in the dish instead. I've made this a few different ways and this by far is my favorite. I prefer white meat so I use chicken breasts and when my husband is home I use chicken thighs and other pieces. It is still pretty tasty either way.

Chicken is also my preference. I'm not into pork unless it's in the form of bacon and I like fish but I'm very picky about the kind and where it's from. If it even remotely has a fishy taste to it I won't eat it. I love shrimp though and this wouldn't be bad with shrimp either come to think of it.

I always had a hard time finding the lavender for Herbs de Provence! There is a local herb shop at our flea market that has the best dried Herbs de Provence. It is a little expensive but it goes a long way because I don't ever really use a lot at once. I'd love to make my own and store it. I do that with my taco seasoning. It's pre made and kept in a tupperware container.

I would love to grow all my own herbs!! I have basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme. I'm in FL and I'm in an apt upstairs so I can't have too much with the sun and the way the porch is set up. My back porch kills a lot of stuff because sit gets direct afternoon sun. It's not so bad right now but it will get super hot and humid out there and everything seems to bake in an afternoon.

I keep the ones I use the most that i mentioned above. Those seem to do just fine. I am about to get hanging plants so I can plant a couple more herbs on the front porch. I love that we are allowed to do this here, a big reason I moved here was because they allowed you to have plants out front and on your porch. Most apartments don't allow it.

I have never grown curry. What kind of environment does it need?

What kind of herbs can you grow where you are?

Well it likes hot weather so i am amazed it lived and did well so long. I have all the ones you have but I have a green house. I have many varieties of each because i am a collector! Can't stop at one and now they keep adding varieties. I grow all my lettuce and onions but the root crops don't do much here. I have large plants like mountain pepper bushes (tree) stays a bush here. We have local myrtle trees which are a bay leaf, nearly the same. Bunches of stuff ca't remember it all :-)

OH I'd love a greenhouse! That is great. I have a small porch and some potting racks. I do ok with what i have to work with. I told my husband the next place we move is a house with a yard. I want my own garden.

You sound like my mom with her garden. She grows her own veggies, herbs and some fruits. I just had some of her broccoli, it was really good. She always has tomatoes too.
