Recipe
Lock in summer's taste-enhancing bounty
by freezing herbs. Here are three quick
ways to save them for winter.
as pesto-find a good recipe and try
substituting herbs besides basil. Any leafy
herb (not woody) could work.
as ice cubes-chop or press whole herbs
into ice trays and cover in a tiny bit of
water, or blend with just enough water to
then make a cube.
as fresh frozen-stuff tightly into freezer
bags (or into small Ball jars).

a thunderstorm.
A dry summer never begs its bread.
Gardening Hints
Your kitchen is full of useful additions to your
garden. Here are a few:
Spray your cucumber vines with sugar water to
attract more bees.
A scattering of orange peels around plants will
deter cats from digging.
Work used coffee grounds into the soil around
onions, lettuce and corn for a boost of nitrogen.
Old Saws
Words that soak into your ears are whispered,
not yelled.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Forgive your enemies; it messes with their
heads.

Regional Notes
Kentucky's first Exhibition Coal Mine, in
Lynch, KY, is a cross between a spook
house ride and a historical storybook.
The dark, bumpy ride through the mine
includes robotic miners recalling the
mine's history and ends with a movie
projected on a soaring cave ceiling that
depicts the formation of coal. X38J+7X
