I am overrun with sage plants. They (somehow) survived the brutal Colorado winter, the bizarre ice storm in May and seem to be no worse for wear from the smoke from all the wildfires that are trying to burn down the Springs. The baby robins were not so lucky and succumbed to smoke inhalation much to my kids' dismay. "Mommy, why are the baby birds lying upside down?" Sigh. Anyway, we've been eating sage in brown butter, sage in pasta, hanging up great bunches in the basement to dry and I've even let some go to flower since the bees like them and we like bees. Still, that's a whole lot of sage. But everyone seems to love the leaves fried in olive oil. It's definitely worth slapping a few on your bacon, avocado and fried egg sandwich. But these are good for a quick summer appetizer since they only take a few minutes to throw together. Enjoy
