Which extends the growing season. Bv)= And makes sure the plants get
whater when they need it rather than only when some important outdoor
activity is planned.  Bv))=

I remeber fondly the rigani you had in the pot last Echo picnic I 
attended. I've had no luck growing some from seed so I'm going to
spend the $$$ and have Burpee's send me plants. Then pray they seed
themselves for subsequent generations.

      Title: Cottage Fried Spuds
 Categories: Potatoes, Sauces
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Russet potatoes; peeled, in
           - small (1/4") cubes
           Oil to deep fry

MMMMM--------------------GARLIC-BUTTER SAUCE-------------------------
    1/2 c  Butter
      1 ts Garlic powder
    1/4 tb Dried basil
      2 ts Dried Greek oregano (rigani)
 
  PREPARE THE POTATOES: Wash and peel the spuds. Cut them
  into 1/4" batons (using your French-fry cutter) then
  cut the batons into 1/4" cubes. Blanch them in your deep
  fryer then allow to drain cool. While they are cooling -
  
  MAKE THE GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE: In a small saucepan melt
  butter, add garlic and saute until cooked. Add dried
  oregano and dried basil and stir until heated through.
  
  Once the sauce is prepared set it aside but keep it
  warm while you drop the potatoes back into the fryer
  to finish cooking and browning.
  
  When the cubes are done to your liking drain them and
  portion out. Pour the garlic butter sauce over and
  serve alongside your eggs and meat.
