I planted sage last year and it really came back this spring. I like the flowers but don't know what to cook it with other than salitimboca(spelling) where you pound it into chicken or veal with Italian or serrano ham and fry it. What do you do?
What do you do with sage?
Mmmmm, sauteed gnocchi with brown butter, sage, and chesnuts...

here are a ton of recipes that call for sage. I love sage but it can be very over powering if you use too much! :) happy cooking.
Reply:The only thing I really do with my fresh sage is put it in homemade stuffing/dressing. It's excellent!
Reply:Sage is used in sausage. It is also used in dressing for turkey and dressing for holiday meals.
Reply:Chicken Dressing
Reply:you can use it with fish if you like fish you can get a whole fresh fish with or wtih out the head put it in side the fish with some rosemary and bake it in a tin foil pouch
Reply:Did you know you can make tea with it?
Boil the leaves,strain an sweeten.Works for stomach achs.
Use pizza to give it an italian taste.
Reply:its just like parsley or thyme it's like a seasoning but yuo can't eat it
like put it in your food to cook and before serving take it out
Reply:There are a ton of uses for sage. Most commonly, people use it at Thanksgiving in their stuffing and turkey. You can also use it in polenta. It's great paired with parmesean cheese. You can use it on almost any poultry dish. However, I'd stay away from certain types of fish - like tilapia and orange roughy - the flavor of the sage overpowers the fish.
If you're looking for more recipes, try www.williams-sonoma.com on their recipe page. Just type in "Sage" and you'll come up with a bunch!
Reply:You can use sage in virtually every 'savory' dish ... but the recipe I remember most is my grandmother's 'sage dressing' when we had a goose for Thanksgiving dinner. We also had oysters in the dressing, but if you don't like them, don't use them ... just put lots of your sage into the bread, with some butter, onion, and a little salt ... stuff it into the bird or add some 'bird juice' and cook it in the oven under foil ...
You can also make a nice salad dressing with oil, vinegar, and sage (also you can use parsley, rosemary, and thyme ... yep, the old Simon and Garfunkel song).
I also have a 'non-edible' use for sage ... I bundle it up in string and burn it when I want to get the 'bad vibes' out of my house/apartment. This is an old Native American way to 'purify' a place, and they do this when a developer has discovered a 'burial site' and they want to move the bodies, or just 'return' the land to being 'sacred ground'...
Reply:burn it and bless your house with it
Reply:It's really good cooked with any kind of meat, especially italian sausage. I like it for sauces, as well, whether red or white.

HELP i just harvested a bountyful of fresh herbs rosmary sage oregano marjoram parsly , how do i store them??
how do i keep my herbs fresh through the winter??
HELP i just harvested a bountyful of fresh herbs rosmary sage oregano marjoram parsly , how do i store them??
i'm not sure they will last through the winter but usually store them in a wet papertowel in a ziploc in the fridge. You should dry out everything else that you wont be using anytime soon and then use that for cooking later.
Reply:You can dry them or freeze them. If you choose to dry them wait until they are completely dry before storing them.
Reply:Freeze or dry them.
Reply:freeze them. for sure
Reply:i usually dry them then Vaccum seal them and place it in the fridge
Reply:Fresh? That's tricky. You could chop them, put them in ice cube trays a tablespoon at a time, top with water and freeze them. Then put the cubes in a freezer bag and squeeze out the air. Those will keep pretty well for stews and soups and suchlike.
I usually make pesto out of basil and parsley. If you make a lot you can freeze it, but freeze it before you add the cheese.
Reply:Best thing to do is to dry them, you can do this in the microwave, or just let them dry naturally, and put them in jars for use during the winter. To dry them in the microwave, strip the leaves from the stems, place them on a paper towel in a single layer%26gt; Cook on HiGH for 30 seconds, then turn them over and cook for 30 seconds more, checking at 5 second intervals to make sure they don't burn. Another 30 seconds if necessary. Do not dry them in the sun or their oils will evaporate, leaving you with tasteless green stuff.
You can freeze them, the most suitable for this are parsley, dill and fennel which tend to lose some of their flavor when dried. Wash them dry them thoroughly, put them in small plastic freezer bags and place them in the freezer. To use them, crumble them directly into whatever you are cooking still frozen. You can also make herb vinegars with them.
Rosemary is one that is best dried. You can also dry herbs in the oven on warm, just check them often to make sure they don't burn.

What color would be best for the trim in a room that is sage green?
ive thought about a dark espresso brown or a cream color? but im not sure what other colors might look better. theres a ton of trim in this room--the house ie very old and has huge baseboards, crown molding and elaborate door and window frames. theres also a built-in window seat--should it be painted the same as the rest of the trim? also, ceilings are 9'6" high
What color would be best for the trim in a room that is sage green?
I think a dark espresso brown would be a little harsh with that color. A soft cream or off-white would be beautiful, but if you wanted to go with a brown, choose a light to medium greyed brown, a taupe. Other colors would likely work, but it's difficult to describe them precisely enough and I don't have a swatch of your paint. I do have a full color fan from Rodda paint company so I could give you color numbers and names as suggested possibilities, but there probably isn't a Rodda in your area. Is there? The window seat would likely be best painted the same as the trim, especially if some of the trim pieces butt up to the window seat. While considering what other colors are in the room, you might like to highlight the primary trim color with some color similar to what's in your furniture coverings or throw pillows . A medium-deep pinkish plum could be lovely with the cream and sage, or some other color may work well with what you have. If you want brown, use a deep taupe with the cream. A color nearly like espresso, but just a bit lighter, may work well.
Finally, whatever you decide you might like to use, get a small amount of the color or colors mixed up at the paint store. Paint a large-ish piece of thick cardboard or some wood with the color/s you plan to use, extending the paint completely to the edges of the cardboard. Painting right to the very edges is important. When it's dry, hang or prop the color sample flat on the wall and see what you think. If you like it, leave it there for a few days so you can see it in various lighting conditions. If you still like the color combination, go with it.
Dec 11: Hi! After we exchanged emails, I checked a lot of possible paint colors to go with your deep grey-green. (Ralph Lauren [Naturals] Cameroon Green) As far as off-whites, most were either too bright against your green or one color greyed the other one out in a bad way. The only really good ones seemed to be:
Glidden's Navajo White 4YY 69/112 which is really a pale greyed tan)
" Basic Beige 45YY 65/084
Ralph Lauren's (Whitewash) Oatmeal WW43
Other possible and darker trim colors fell mainly in the tan range:
Glidden Oyster White 30YY 64/149
" Water Chestnut 30YY 62/127
" Potter's Clay 40YY 38/107
Ralph Lauren's (Naturals) Crab Apple NA02
" " ( " ) Mexican Feather Grass NA 69 a greenish tan
Since you mentioned needing a bedcover, I think one with broad stripes with a bit of gleam to the fabric or another rich fabric like a suede or suede-look in a large pattern could go nicely. Of course, only you know what you like or what will work for you. Possible color choices could be wines mixed with russets, golds, cream, tans, browns or grey. (I tried to keep in mind the slate you described on the furniture as well as the amber window panes.)
A rug could be nice and I did see a number of rugs at Home Depot that had a similar green to your walls as a major portion.
If you found a bedcover with a few colors in it that go nicely with your walls you could use it to help you choose the trim and accent colors. Choose one of the colors out of it to paint as an accent color on your walls. Also use another color in the fabric for the trim, making sure both go with your green. Or, just match the accent paint to your brown furniture if that goes well.
If you want to get a rug as well as a bedcover, find two patterns that are very different, such as a stripe and a paisley that share at least two colors. Three colors in common is better. (The rugs at Home depot mainly put your green with browns, russets, tans, golds and wine.) The scales of the patterns need to be quite different too. For example, broad stripes with a smaller paisley. Narrow stripes with a big curvelinear pattern. Two or three colors in common will tie them together. Or choose a pattern and a coordinating solid, of course.
Since your trim is layered with paint, it'll be difficult to get a professional appearance by painting an accent color on the trim, so I suggest painting the trim all one color, but painting the area between the picture molding and the crown molding with the accent color. Pehaps the walls in the niche around your window seat could also be painted in the accent color. Maybe your door, too.
Alternatively, if you want to use only one color for trim, you could paint the crown molding and the wall down to the picture molding to match your ceiling. Then paint the picture molding the same color as the rest of the trim. This will serve to visually lower your ceiling a bit, and make the room seem cozier. It will also help brighten the room a little, since the main wall color and your furnishings are dark. Or just keep the entire wall green and paint all the trim the same, of course. Only you know what will work for you.
I couldn't find a swatch of the brown you said matches your furniture. Perhaps they were out. Brown seems pretty nice with the green, but I think it would be better to separate it with one of the whites or tans I suggested. You'll know.
Finally, since paint swatches are ink, not paint, and since paint colors may change depending on the finish, it could be good to do the test I suggested. Paint your color or colors on a piece of cardboard or wood before committing it to a wall and hang it up to see if you'll really like it. Hope these suggestions are useful.
Reply:If they are older they are likely a solid wood and I wouldn't be painting over them at all. I would remove them, sand them and the stain them whatever color that I thought matched. You could do a walnut stain if you like dark or go with a lighter blonde stain if the room doesn't get a lot of natural light.
Reply:Dark cream. If you can find a way to use espresso and cream together, that would be really wonderful. I love the tri-colored look but very few rooms have enough trim to pull it off.
Reply:I would say another shade of darker green or a cream color
Reply:Dark Chocolate brown is awesome. Got it in my home (along with the sage green) Baseboards, chair rail, crown molding and trim around the door is the brown. The doors I left white.
It's so nice to see someone who else who loves painting their moldings somehting other than white.
Reply:Purple.
In WWII days, they mixed these colors so that soldiers wouldn't barf all over the place when there was blood and body parts all around, but it was mainly two-tone.
Is that what you are trying to achieve?
Reply:White. This will give the room a bright, crisp, clean, modern appearance. You can't go wrong with white trim.
Reply:depending on the size of the room and the furniture in it you would probably want to paint all the trim the same color to avoid being too busy use a lighter color for the trim and the room will look slightly bigger if you go darker it will look smaller One thing that would look good is to get an off white and mix in a bit of the sage to bring that color into the trim but to change it enough so that there is good contrast between it and the sage. try mixing the paints in real small bits say a teaspoon at a time until you get a color that you want to try then paint a piece of two inch masking tape with it about two foot long, hit it with a hair dryer when it is dry stick it several places around the room and see how it feels. use a semi gloss or satin finish to avoid glare but to make it easier to clean. Once you find the color that you like take some of that tape to the paint store and have their computer match it for you good luck and enjoy the end results as your own decorator

I ruined my soup with fresh sage. What's the correct procedure?
I made a fresh vegetable soup with all my garden veggies. I threw in about 5 leaves of fresh sage and let the soup simmer for a couple hours. It was totally horrible! I finally figured out that the bad taste was from the sage. The sage taste was overpowering. So, gardeners and cooks, please tell me what proportions to use and how long to leave it in the broth.
I ruined my soup with fresh sage. What's the correct procedure?
Sage should not be used in soup. Rosemary, Thyme or Bay Leaves are good for soup. You can use other herbs depending upon what type of soup you make.
Mint
Tarragon
Marjoram
Savory
Dill
Reply:google it :]
Reply:Add more broth to it and a can of tomato paste. It should tone it down.
Reply:Sage is a soft herb (as opposed to thyme) you should put soft herbs in at the very end of cooking as they break down very quickly.
Reply:Don't put sage in your soup.
Reply:Sage is better on meat. Best if you omit it and instead use basil and oregano.

What pieces of Tao Te Ching specifically deals with ascestism and the sage?
All of it is specifically about the Spiritual life.. all of it.
It's about that which is unseen and at the source of everything... and I have to add that anyone who wants to live a better life needs to consider the implications of the Tao. It is all about the Spiritual life... and that is the message of the Original Gospel and every other genuine spiritual tradition as well.

I want to paint our living room and kitchen, the couch is sage green. What colors will look best?
get yourself a colour wheel....found in art shops....they have a slide so that you can compare both complimentary shades and contrasting colours I have found this quite a valuable tool when choosing colours for just about anything and have done it for years
I want to paint our living room and kitchen, the couch is sage green. What colors will look best?
I have used a salmon orange in my sitting room that has a green suite due to my curtains being a burnt orange colour and it looks good it really depends what colour your curtains are as paint can pick up either the compliments of the curtains or the sofas depending on what you want. In the kitchen I have oak cabinets and have my walls painted a sun yellow which really lifts the room and makes it nice and bright even on the wet day which we get a lot of here in ireland
Reply:depends on the flooring and drapes, are they also greem or neutral,neutralbeige/cream will allow a strong contrasting colour such as aubergine or chocolate tones.on a wall or 2...
gold or oatmeal hues go well on walls where flooring and drapes are bolder
I my self have cranberry and oatmeal sounds delicious !
If you scatter a few green foliage plants in with any of these combinations it will look great
Reply:Look at shades of neutral colors, like cream or beige shades, or other neutral colors of ur liking. It should list if it is a neutral color or not, then u can take some neutral samples home to put against ur couch.
Matt said the same colors lol, my best luck has been with satin paints, for kitchens and baths, maybe a little more expensive but well worth it when u go to wipe something off.
I've had semi-gloss paint still get pasty when u try to wipe a stain or splatter off the wall.
You could go cheaper for the living room, (like flat paint) and invest more for the kitchen for easier clean up.
How much u want to spend also depends on how long u will be staying there, or if u own it.
Reply:Light beige (flat) in the living room and cream (semi gloss) in the kitchen. Think that will look
classy.
Reply:livingroom............eggplant
kitchen a buttery yellow and the sage as an accent
Reply:My couch is sage green, and my walls in the family room/kitchen combination is a very pale green, called parsnip. Using a dark barn red and mustard makes a very nice color combination. My carpet is also sage green, with lots of oak trim. If you would like to see how it looks, check out my picturetrail
www.picturetrail/adlockwood1
It is in the album under valances - there are raised swags on either side of the fireplace. The walls are a pale green.
