Fun With Food From The HeraKI Kitchen By MILDRED HUSKINS Several days ago a new poster went up on our refrig* erator door. It had been put there hy the man of our house and it was accompanied by an ultimatum, which he deliv ered in person: "Start cooking with more herbs." Well, we thought we'd been doing rather well in this line. We had sage dehydrating all over the house, mint in large sprigs on the kitchen counter ready for tea and lamb chops; we still have left from last season plenty of thyme, basil, oregano, etc. So, we went out to see why the urge to use more herbs in cooking. We found that the herb garden was about to take over the asparagus bed and the strawberry rows. The herbs were crowding out the rest of the garden and he thought they were getting out of hand. Summer brings the fresh est of fruits and vegetables, the tastiest, most colorful and most nutritious foods we see all year. We can season this summer bounty of newfy picked produce with equally fresh herbs. Herbs are among the easiest plants to grow and are increasingly available in the supermarket. Our sum mer bounty includes the dis tinctive flavors and fra grances of fresh parsley, basil, thyme, rosemary and three kinds of mint along be side the sage bed. Here are a few rules of thumb for using fresh herbs to perk up your summer cooking SALAD DAYS — Easy, delicious Tomato Basil Platter is a healthy, no cholesterol idea to improve ordinary everyday meals.
