When early man | was searching for food, he found that some green or dried leaves had a characteristic fragrance. He liked this fragrance and he liked the taste of the leaves. As history unfolds, we read, sprinkâ€" led in with historic stonuinulea of herbs and their uses. the Bible, we read of mint, rue and cumin and there are stories of Charlamagne pLant‘mg his royal garden with herbs. On the lighter side, Sasanova, | we are told, chewed sweet herbs to perfume his breath. Herbs continued in popularity and homemakers in all parts of the world used them right up to grandmother‘s time. In North America, interest in herbs languished quite suddenly and it is only recently that the old custom has been revived. Toâ€" day many young homemakers are beeing introduced to the magic of seasonings for the first time. Garlic is a bulbous European herb. It is a potent seasoning and it makes its presence known if it is used incorrectly. Garlic, when properly used, enhances th|_e flaâ€" UAAA pnimoe c tac aell vor of many foods.

This distriâ€" butes the garlic more evenly. 3 The same procedure aEplies with garlic bread. To make it, cut a loaf of either French or rye bread into slices about three quarters of an inch thick. Do not cut right through to the bottom crust, but leave about a &unrl.er of an inch uncut so that the loaf will hold together.

She had gone upâ€" stairs, pulled a dresser dnw.undsys!omlucllly thrown its contents down the stairwell. I decided I had better get the dinner underway before I attendâ€" ed to that job, and so returned to the kitchen and Steve. Since I was having French fried potatoes for dinner, Iâ€" got out a set of thermometers I had been given for Christmas and was testing the hot fat when Steve gave out with a loud yell. L off the end. Arodfits;id(not blood) wus%mhh chin and he was spit bits of glass. I grabbed him and ran to the sink, getting him to rinse out his mouth, hoping thus to get rid of Then I suddenly remembered that thermometers are mpfoced to contain mercury! Could it poiâ€" son him? I dashed to the phone and called the doctor, who reâ€" assured me. It was only after making the call I realized that the liquid in the thermometer had been thin and red, and was more than likely alcohol. When Bruce came home for lunch he confirmed this fact.
