Sage leaves fried in butter are amazing! Sage is my all time favourite plant. I have the common variety at the moment, but Im looking at getting some of the others to brighten up the vegi patch and act as a companion plant. Has anyone tried the pineapple sage? Whenever you have a sort throat, pop out and nibble on five or so fresh leaves, or make a tea/throat gargle. It works a treat. I agree with quant. Sage leaves fried in butter are amazing!

My mom says "its just weeds" (but is spanish) and then says i need to cut it down, but i love it i thought it was pretty and then it started getting bigger and bigger and now its a huge bush thing with long purple flowers that smell so pretty and sweet. even though it is hidden on the far back side of my house the wind just travels its scent all around the area. Now my mom loves it, but still says its a trash plant. lol but she wont mention cutting it down anymore. where could i find out what it is. I'm sure it's a common plant here in Texas so I'm a bit ashamed to ask what it is and sound silly. Can I send a picture somewhere that maybe they can help me out?

What a brilliant idea that I'm going to try tomorrow morning... I've always loved adding sage to my squash soup in fall and winter. In summer, I add a bit of sage to pork recipes. I do think that sage is a very underused herb in cooking. I'm a fan of Food Network, but the cooks rarely use fresh sage, instead relying on standards like basil or rosemary, or (gasp!) only using dried herbs. Thanks for highlighting the diversity of this herb -- I currently have two different varieties growing in my herb garden. And this post encouraged me to use it more often!
