  1. I use dill, too, especially in potato salads and tuna salads. It is good with pork chops, too. It is not good in squash. As newlyweds, I made a squash with dill dish. It was a recipe from a magazine. It was horrible. Poor Bill was trying to choke it down. I finally said, “Don’t eat it!” He didn’t want to hurt my feelings.

    Tarragon and fennel are best used sparingly. I agree.

    I am a bit nervous about the A-Z, but I was proud of myself last year! I look forward to yours!

    HUGS!

    1. That was sweet of Bill to try to eat the squash. I have lots of squash recipes and never saw dill in any. I am sure you will do great with the A-Z challenge. XO

  3. Tarragon is a fine herb when used on chicken stuffing or in chicken gravy. Too licoricy tasting if had on vegetables. Dill is good in my books too.

    I enjoyed the fill-ins. Of course, I always seem to have fun with them. Thanks for the fun Ellen.

  4. It’s been years since i took the time to crochet (or knit, or do cross stitch), so i’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve been up to!

    1. Thank you. I only make small items. I am impressed you can do all 3, I tried to knit, but no luck.

  5. Oh gosh I forgot about fennel – not crazy about that either……….I said ginger because too much ginger RUINS a dish I think….we didn’t get much winter either but it’s not over YET!

    Love, Pam

  6. We did not really have much of a winter. Ours lasted three days. It snowed for about three minutes. Then, a few weeks later it was up to the 90s. Have a great week.

    1. 90’s in the winter, I would not like that.I hope you have a nice weekend!

  8. I love dill… mostly in potato salad… I never thought of using it in burgers! I am hearing that winter was mild from a lot of people in blogland! Mild in MissouREE, too! Love the Dr. Seuss hat you crocheted for Teddy… sweet! Phoebe modeled it well!

    1. Mild is good 🙂 Thank you for the compliments on the hat I crocheted.

  9. I love dill too, especially in salmon patties, with Dijon mustard too. We also had a mild winter, several 70-degree days. Got a dusting of snow this morning though, so go figure!

    1. I don’t eat salmon, but I will try that for my hubby. Strange winter. Have a nice weekend!

  10. These fill-ins are always so fun! I never thought of using dill in hamburgers, and now I must try it. I have never actually participated in the A to Z challenge, but I’m thinking I’ll give it a shot this year. If art is allowed, I just might do a drawing for each letter of the alphabet. I should probably get a head start on that. And our winter was quite mild as well, with far less snow than usual, and only a few days of true cold. As always, we had lots of fun with these! Thank you for hosting this challenge each week, Ellen!

    1. I hope you do the A-Z challenge with your drawings. You can do anything you want as long as you go through the alphabet. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins.

  11. I have never tried dill in hamburgers–that would give it a different taste! I bet my husband would like to try that. He does most of the cooking around here. The A to Z challenge sounds fun, but I’m afraid I would get behind. I need to do some major reorganizing of my time–and brain! LOL

  12. I hadn’t thought of using dill in egg salad! I’m going to do that next time! 🙂 Loved your answers – and I’m joining in the A-Z challenge for the first time ever, so I’m looking forward to reading your crocheting adventures. I used to crochet, but haven’t done so in *years*, so I’m pretty sure I’d not do very well at that…heh!!

    Thanks for hosting the fun – have a great weekend! 🙂

    1. Thank you. I hope you do join in the challenge, it is a lot of fun. Have a nice weekend! 🙂

  17. Hi! Dill is a good one! I never thought about putting it hamburgers. Good idea! I don’t think I’ve ever used tarragon or fennel. If so, it’s been a long time.

    Even though I’m crocheting a blanket doesn’t mean I’m good at it! I’ve made a few but I used to have very crooked edges because I don’t count. Right now, this “blanket” just looks like a very long (and a little wide) bookmark.

    Hope you all have a nice weekend!

    1. It is good in burgers. I am sure the blanket is beautiful 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend too!

  18. Great fill-ins! Hey, dill! Why do we always forget dill? We love dill! Time to put that spice bottle in front of all others, especially that fennel one that Mom absolutely hates with a passion. Maybe that one needs to find a new home, in the trash.

  21. As I don’t blog on Fridays, do you think it would be okay for me to do some fill-ins right here? purrs

    Fill-ins:
    1. My favourite herb or spice is nip.
    2. An herb/spice I dislike is not nip.
    3.Lately, I have been working on teachin’ the peep to grow nip better. 4.This Winter was nippy although truth be told, that’s the wrong kind of nip.

    1. You can always put your fill-ins here Seville. Great answers, I notice a theme- nip 🙂

  22. We’ve all had a strange winter. Or crazy ya’ could call it. MOL Dat’s so funny dat you like dill. We hate it and da fust bloggy we read today also hated it. Yeah, we need to sleep. MOL Big hugs

    Luv ya’

    Dezi and Raena

  26. I like dill, too, but have never cooked with it. I’ll have to try it next time I make potato salad.

    I look forward to your A to Z posts! I haven’t decided if I’ll be participating this year or not. My mind is on overload already. 🙂

    Have a blessed weekend!

    1. I hope you decide to participate in the A-Z challenge. I hope you have a blessed weekend too.

  29. Ellen, I like dill. I usually put it my potato salad. Looking forward to your A-Z Challenge contributions. See ya around and thanks for hosting the Friday fun, my friend!

    1. Dill is tasty. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, you always have great answers.

  32. 1. My favorite herb or spice is hard to define since I use and enjoy so many of them.
    2. An herb/spice I dislike is dill. (How funny, that you love that!!)
    3.Lately, I have been working on catching up:) .
    4.This Winter was not as bad as we thought it would be…must be because we bought a snow thrower so we were prepared. Go figure! .

    1. Thank you for your answers, I enjoyed them. That is funny that you don’t like dill and it is one of the few I enjoy. Yes, whenever you are prepared it works out differently, but that is good.
