My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Drying basil

18 years ago

I have a TON of basil and decided to turn the oven on 170 with the door propped open and dry the basil. One problem, I noticed when I turn it that it's turning black. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or is this normal?
