Great, thanks! I go back & forth between fresh & dried, but I just wanted to make sure I use the correct measurements. Sounds great! - 10/24/09

I usually use dried, because I always have those on hand. You could absolutely use fresh though, but I would recommend putting them in at the end. Thanks for the comment! :)
