Cooking Herbs ? Spices ? what do you use in your kitchen ? chilis, sauces, condiments, garnishes all welcome!!

I love cooking so I have a huge amount of herbs and spices - my family has an aversion to bland food so everything here has something added to it.

you might have more jars than I do; I just counted 48 bottles/jars for the ground up/dried/whole herbs/spices. I dehydrate the ones I grow; rosemary, oregano, basil, chives and if I purchase cilantro or parsley for a recipe, whatever I don't use (which usually is at least half the bunch) I dehydrate the rest--just did cilantro today). I usually make my own 'mix', chili (Texas style), Italian, ranch dressing herbs, etc.
