I believe I have ruined dinner. I'm making a roast in the crock pot. I usually just pour a package of onion soup mix and water over it, and throw in some carrots and potatoes, but I'm out of onion soup mix, so I just went through my spice drawer and threw in a bunch of stuff: garlic salt, bay leaves, oregano, fennel, parsley flakes, ground black pepper, a little bit of paprika, and apparantly too much thyme. (Also beef bullion cubes, cream of mushroom soup, a quartered onion, and some frozen carrots.) All I can smell now is thyme, and it is not appealing to me at all. I dumped the thyme in first, and I put everything else in trying to tone that flavor down, but it's just not working. I was really looking forward to good gravy on my mashed potatoes, but I'm feeling like I'm just out o' luck. I hate when I mess up my food! I've asked the Peas for help, but no one has responded so far. I guess I'll just have to eat it and be disappointed. The Boy is claiming not to be hungry. I may throw out my thyme. I'm really liking it less and less lately.
Update: A kind pea responded that thyme usually cooks out at high heat and so I guess that is why it smelled so strong. I tasted it and sure enough, I can't taste the thyme anymore. It is really really salty, but the Vansome likes extra salt, so he will be happy.
