Playing with Herbs!!!

I love growing fresh herbs and more often than not,

I have what I need growing in my herb garden.

I view sage as a winter herb, one for cold weather dishes. 

I don't use it very often, 

so I just buy it fresh when I need it.

The bunches of sage from the supermarket are always huge 
and I don't use that much,
so I decided to dry it, rather than throw it away.

It's super simple...

Wash and dry it well,

 tie with string...

slice up a brown bag,

 in it goes...more string,

I hung it from a kitchen cabinet door for 2 weeks,

and it came out looking perfect!!

And I just happen to have the perfect little jar to store it in...

could it be any cuter??

I also always have an abundance of basil,

that can be easily dried as well.

Washed and dried thoroughly, 

I just leave mine out on a cookie sheet,

until it gets all wrinkled and dry.

Here's the same pan a few weeks later.
It's so easy and I always feel a bit more like a "farmer"
when I grow my own!
