Family Kitchen, Wednesday

The only thing better than the smell of fresh basil simmering with tomatoes is the smell of tomatoes and basil from you own garden.

Fresh herbs can add rich flavor to your cooking and give your dishes a new level of sophistication. By growing your own herbs, you can save money and have them close at hand whenever you need them, not to mention finding more satisfaction in your cooking.

Front Row, Thursday

Thirty-two footsteps keep the beat.

"Slow-slow, quick-quick. One-two, quick-quick," Jenny Anderson chants, leading eight couples through beginning swing moves.

The group of teens follow Anderson's instructions, flirting with true moments of grace as the young women dip and twirl under partners' arms, then pull back and spin.

Any awkward moments learning the moves are met with smiles and giggles.
