Your chicken recipe calls for a tablespoon of fresh rosemary, your roasted tomatoes require a teaspoon of thyme, and you want to add chives to your mashed potatoes. By the end of the weekend, you have handfuls of fresh herbs sitting in a cup of water, and there isn't a recipe in the world that will use all of them up. Don't despair, there are lots of great things you can do with your leftover herbs. Use a small handful of sage to add flavor to a cup of green tea, blend some chives and thyme into butter or goat cheese with a Cuisinart and serve it with a baguette, leave sprigs of rosemary in a bottle of vodka for unusual martinis, or, if all that weekend cooking has worn you out, just drop a sachet of all your leftover aromatics into a bath.

Excellent point! There's always use for leftover herbs ... I like to throw mine into a frittata or omelette.
