If the incision has a lot of tension (is very tight), some surgeons will leave the sutures in longer. However, 12 days for suture removal may be a little long and runs the risk of leaving suture marks or railroad track scars. You should call your surgeon's office to have your concerns addressed.
Parsley is popular in Italian seasonings. Chicken cacciatore is flavored with oregano, garlic, and basil. Along with tomatoes and mozzarella, freshly picked basil is used to make insalata caprese. Oregano is a common Italian seasoning.
Great recipe for a really great Italian seasoning. Have you thought of adding a teaspoon of a savory blend. Winter and summer savory plants have different taste, one pine the other peppery. That's why a blend is best. I think that you are a bit skimpy in the red pepper flakes and them being optional, well that's silly.
