sage

Apparently, all three had assumed that the wise old “flounder” was alive and well and could be found strolling about the school, giving sage advice.

Nuthatches, warblers, sparrows, and the occasional wood dove—perfectly acceptable birds all, to be sure, but where were the sage and mysterious owls?

Such was the case with this pasta sauce packed with autumnal flavors like squash, pumpkin, maple syrup, apple and sage.

Burgundy wine, beef demi-glace, sage and thyme complement the sweetness of the onions in this rich gravy.

For a more autumnal spin, I tuck in about ½ cup of cubed, softened butternut squash, a sprinkle of brown sugar, cubes of manchego, and a few torn sage leaves.
