An observation: fresh rosemary and fresh sage are completely different than their dried counterparts. In fact, in my humble opinion, dried sage is dreadful. Dried rosemary can hardly be distinguished from dried bark or dried ditch weeds.
But fresh rosemary in PW's Herbed Potatoes is marvelous. It's scalloped potatoes in disguise. But calling them scalloped potatoes equates them with the kind you shake out of a box. And that is just disgraceful.
A handful of sage and rosemary leaves in chicken and rice moves the dish from mediocre to gourmet. Just like that. And in turkey noodle soup. The kind where you boil the turkey drumsticks and strain all the chunks out of the broth and crumble up all the meat , throw in some noodles and add some rosemary and/or sage to the mixture. Oh that's good stuff.
(all credit goes to Becca who bought them and put them in my fridge in the first place. Left to my own creativity, I'd still be using the dried bark tasting stuff.)
