Be leioctive in adding herbs
to a particular food. Unleu you
are following a tested recipe,
one herb will probably be
enough to spark up a dish with
distinctive flavor.
Add herbs to cooked foods
such as stews, soups and sauces
during the last hour of cooking.
Uncooked foods such as salad
dressings, fruits and juices may
need more time for flavors to
blend. Add herbs as long as pos
sible before serving to these
dishes.
Herbs make nice houseplants
in any sunny window. A few
plants of several kinds of herbs
will serve the needs of the av
erage family. Next spring they
can be planted outdoors.

Hang the plants for drying in a

Harvest anise, lavender, cara

US Grade A or Fancy peas are very tender

good side dishes or salad ingredients.

they have a good flavor. They are good as a
side dish or in casseroles.
US Grade C or Standard canned peas are
more mature but have a fairly good flavor.
They don’t look so good as the higher grades
