Bossy’s Favorite Things.

Despite the fact that this looks like a Kefir propaganda poster, this Favorite Thing is about parsley. Specifically, this new way Bossy manages her parsley after she brings it home from the parsley adoption agency:

First she washes the parsley and pats it dry with her dish towel, and then she sticks the stems down into a container of water, and she puts the herb bouquet in her refrigerator. This seems to make it last longer. Of course what would Bossy know; she gives her parsley hell (so it never sticks around that long anyway.)

   I planted me some parsley over the weekend, so hopefully I won’t be needing to worry about refrigerating it at least until October.

   Some years ago I had a bumper crop of parsley and discovered that one can freeze it. Rinse, but leave very wet, put in a plastic bag, squish air out and freeze. Chunks of icy parsley can be broken off and added to soups, etc. Tastes just like fresh!

   You can also chop it up, put in a freezer bag and freeze it. That is what I did with all the parsley that was still growing in November. I now have two gallon size bags of it, after using it all winter for soups and everything else I could think of and you just grab whatever you need from the bag and it is just like fresh. I did the same with my basil and oregano.

   ah. See, my parsley wilted and turned into green slime in the plastic produce bag in the crisper drawer. Parsley should come with instructions!

   We used to drink kefir a long, long time ago, when it was a hippie health-food drink. Now it’s expensive to be a healthy hippie…and kind of blows the budget for a poverty party. I keep my parsley in the planter box outside. And my blackberry jam in the fridge.

   I just love parsley. I always zest a lemon over it before chopping, nothing better than parsley and lemon.

    I have never “gotten” parsley. Oregano I get — from a mile away I can smell oregano coming. Same with fresh basil and rosemary and cilantro — *sigh* cilantro — but parsley? Can’t taste it. Maybe I’m accidentally buying the plastic kind.

    I keep my “parsley” rolled up in the freezer-in the waaaay back where no one but me can find it… I only use it when the kids are fast asleep… My parsley is WAAAAY better than your parsley.

    I just read that kefir (read: probiotics) will help keep away the swine flu. Smart bossy.
