So interesting

Sage 🌿 (Salvia officinals): The Herb of Thanksgiving...
Ever wonder why we put sage in stuffing? 🦃
Today we understand that sage is an antibacterial herb. Our ancestors also knew that to ensure food safety, it was best to add an abundance of sage to the stuffing or 'belly pudding' and rub the bird inside and out with salt before filling the cavity (where we know today bacteria is most likely to form). Scientific studies can now help us understand why many of our 'classic flavor combinations', demonstrate that our ancestors knew a great deal about preserving food, food quality and health - leading to the old adage that 'The cook is half a physician'.
Sage is also synonymous with wisdom. In fact, it might be said that many an 'old sage' gained her wisdom from the use of sage. "As far back as 1597, herbalist John Gerard wrote that sage was 'singularly good for the head and brain and quickeneth the nerves and memory.' Half a century later, Nicholas Culpeper, claimed the herb 'heals the memory, warming and quickening the senses".
The Latin name for Sage is Salvia which translates to "Life"...so add some life to your holiday foods this season with Salvia officinalis or our common perennial garden sage!
*I also love to make cornmeal, apricot, sage cookies (recipe in comments) and a pot of sage tea to ring in the beginning of the cold season. What is your favorite way to use sage?

We are so grateful that Miss Meredith from the Animal Hospital of S**o was able to join us! She provided such a wonderful learning experience for everyone. We bandaged up animals, looked at X-rays, enjoyed a great story, and learned all about how important her job as a veterinarian is. Thank you, Miss Meredith, for an amazing visit! 🐾💛🩺
