I love to cook with fresh herbs. In the winter, I have a small herb garden in my kitchen window.
In the summer, I like to move all my herbs outside to the garden in my backyard. When I need some fresh herbs for something I'm cooking, I just go to the backyard and snip off a few sprigs of whatever it is I need.
Another thing I do with herbs in the summer (when the herbs are more plentiful and I don't have to be so stingy with them the way I am in winter) is use them to decorate and scent my house.
I cut fresh sprigs of everything from mint to basil and put them in vases filled with cool water.
I set the vases all over the house.
On days like today, when the temperature is soaring over 100 degrees, there's another advantage to bringing some of the fresh herbs inside and keeping them in water.
Instead of having to brave the heat, and trek out to my backyard when I need some fresh herbs for cooking, I just take a sprig of whatever herb I need out of one of the vases.
Fill a vase with water, then arrange a lovely bouquet of basil leaves to tuck inside the vase for a beautiful and fragrant centerpiece for your kitchen or dining room table.
