My favorite basil went to my rustic tomato-basil capellini, the parsley metamorphosed into chimichurri, the lettuce of course, eaten as a salad, the spinach, simply steamed, mint leaves enrolled themselves to tea, oregano laid back and chose itself to dry for future use, cilantro joined tomatoes for a hot salsa, and sage, sauteed in butter as an appetizer---oh, the joys of growing and consuming herbs!
