I have a large and fragrantly abundant pot of sage growing right next to my kitchen door. It is sufficiently plush as to attract admirers from even a sidewalk view. And yet ... I never use it.

<br />Until Sunday, when I snipped one huge stalk, whose thick, mature leaves protectively shaded an inner rung of tiny ones. Its cut end oozed the perfume of summer, which instantly beckoned to be preserved.
