Confucius say man who sink into woman's arms soon have arms in woman's sink.

__________________________________________________

Use this oil to dress a salad, to add an herbal note to pasta dishes, or just to fry your morning eggs.

Note: Flavored oils must be heated in order to guard against the
development of botulin toxin. This should not be a concern if you follow
my recipes. Due to the high acidity of the flavored vinegars, the heating process is not necessary.

Herbed Oil

2 cups (500 ml) olive oil
1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano, chives, sage, tarragon, or parsley, or in any combination

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat over moderate heat just
until the herbs begin to sizzle. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Strain through a coffee filter or several layers of cheesecloth.
Transfer to a pint (500 ml) bottle and cap or cork tightly.
 Makes 1 pint (500 ml).
