Easy: Dry and store them for a later date. You can air-dry the herbs by tying them in bunches and hanging them in a dry, dark place for two days, or use your gas or electric oven to do the same thing. Simply warm the oven, spread the herbs in a single layer on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for three to four hours, leaving the door partially open. (For safety reasons, do this when your kids are out of the house.) When herbs are completely dry, remove leaves from stems and store in an airtight container.
