Dry Your Own HerbsFresh herbs are great, and it is good to have some dried ones to preserve your summer bounty, or to prevent fresh ones from spoiling before they can be used up. Some people freeze herbs, but they may be ruined with a power outage. Dried herbs stay good for longer.

You can also dry them on a cookie sheet in a gas over where the pilot light keeps the oven warm. It takes at least a week, but is a lot less trouble. My oven will hold 6 cookie sheets.
