TASTE
When I started as the Tulsa World's food writer six years ago, I hoped I would have the title for 30 years.

The only herb that is coming back to life in my garden is my thyme, but I'm hoping the parsley and a few others will poke their heads out soon.
If not, I'm not worried. This month and into May, there will be one herb festival after another. It's such a great time of year for Oklahoma cooks and gardeners.
Brookside's Herb Day is Saturday, April 12. The Sand Springs Herbal Affair in on Saturday, April 19. The Jenks Herb and Plant Festival is on Saturday, April 26. And, the Owasso Bouquet of Gardeners Spring Garden Festival is on Saturday, April 3.
So for at least a month, there's no complaining about how you can't find anything fun to do on the weekends. I'll be at least a couple of these festivals, picking up a new round of basil, plus bedding plants and maybe a rhubarb pie.
Until then, here's a great recipe from the Soil Sisters, a group of Creek County Master Gardeners who are also in the Jenks Garden Club. You can use either dried or fresh herbs (or a mixture of both) for this butter.
Herbed Butter
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon sage
1. Mix together and place in a pretty bowl or mold. Cover tightly and allow to set in refrigerator for a coule of days to let the flavors blend.
