Question.... If I get an energy burst... can I freeze these? It would be worth the effort to make a double batch...

Did you find out what savoury is? I am sorry but I forgot to answer you about that. It is easiest to remember that summer savoury is lighter and for summer cuisine, and winter savoury is much stronger and used for wintery stews etc.
I act...more
