Wise old,
tasty sage
Eat sage in May, and
you'll live forever:: the En-
glish have been saying ever
since the herb was first intro-
duced by the Romans, who
borrowed it from the Greeks.-
Though you-may prefer to
grow old more gracefully
than ye olde English, you
can't deny that the use, of
sage makes a remarkable dif-
ference in cooking. ''
With its strong and pim-
gent flavor, it Should be used °
very sparingly to enhance the
flavor of poultry, veal, stews
and stuffings.
sage can be grown easily in
your own backyard, started
nt fro seed, from stem cut-
- tings, or by dividing mature
clumps in' the spring, accord-
ing to the Ort.ho book
"When the Good Cook Gar•
dens."
All you need is wel.l-
drained soil, full sunlight,
and a minimal amount of wa-
ter, since, over-watering may
cause mildew. You can pick
sage leaves anytime before,
during or after bloom.
And; don't forget to keep
some around for May—just
in case the English are right.
