Just recently we had the local excuse for Jacques Pepin ("Here's how to turn Cheez Whiz and a hot dog into something superficially resembling food!") on TV. He was extolling the virtues of cooking with fresh herbs. All that you have to do, he said, is go to your local garden shop, get seeds of your favorite herbs, perform some magic that I didn't bother watching (I think that it involved sacrificing a goat), and, viola, you're cooking with gas (or fresh herbs, anyway). Bat puckey. We've been buying birdseed at the pet store for decades, and never once have we succeeded in growing a bird from seed. (No, I haven't had my coffee yet. How could you tell?)
