My beloved cooked a chicken soup yesterday evening, and she used some fresh parsley to doll it up before serving. The soup was meant for today, as well, and so was the parsley. Several bunches remained, and the question was how best to preserve them overnight. I took a wine glass, filled it with water from the kitchen sink, and put the parsley in it. Partly wilted already, it sprung back to life in less than an hour. It is so beautiful today that I wonder whether we will have the heart to chop it up for the soup this evening. Parsley!
