Were you believeable (NOT) your freezer would be a garbage dump... frozen
wine...what a lot of hooey!

Freezing parsley is easy (requires no carnival act). Pick over and discard all
bruised/damaged parts. Rinse parsley with cold water and blot. Pinch leaves
from stems. Place leaves on paper towel and fold over. Roll stems in a paper
towel. Bag each separately in a zip-loc. Use stems for flavoring
stocks/soups/stews. Use frozen leaves same as fresh.

Shove ice cubes up your LiaR crotch!

Ahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .
