make yourself at home - herbs
your new home may also have windows, or even a balcony. you can embrace them too. make it a home for some new life, that you have control over. you will get the best results if you connect it to the kitchen somehow - like in this case, by planting herbs, that you can later use for cooking.
furthermore, the simple logic, that we used to explain the bread case - applies here. the herbs are homegrown. ergo, the place you grew them at is home.
