(I was also a little baffled that I couldn't buy *thyme*, I could only buy "poultry seasoning" that had thyme and sage. But maybe other people already bought all the plain thyme...)
Well, if this was the Stop & Shop on McGrath, I was one of the people who had bought plain thyme earlier. I probably have more than I need--should I bring you some?
It was the McGrath Stop and Shop, in fact. You stealer of thyme!
I only need a sprig or two, so the "poultry seasoning" does have what I need, but thank you for the offer! So I suppose I am actually complaining about whether I compost extra sage or extra thyme, which may be silly. :)
Yeah, we have potted thyme and rosemary (they get to come inside in the winter) and it's great for the "I only need a sprig" issue... (Speaking of which, I see your problem is solved, but if you ever find yourself in need of a sprig of thyme or rosemary, you're welcome to stop by and snip some of ours.)
Er, the "you" there is addressing firstfrost -- you'd be welcome too, mathhobbit, but it's not such a useful offer to you, since you have your own and don't live right around the corner from me. :)
