FRESHEN YOUR BREATH WITH PARSLEY

{LEAD} DON'T KEEP parsley just for garnish.

Sylvia Thompson of The Washington Post describes it as tasting like ``water from a pristine creek.''

{REST} When I was a teen, the waitresses and waiters at the old Pine Tree Inn restaurant in Virginia Beach ate parsley to freshen their breath. Try it sometime.

Splendor in the grass

Only Californians could come up with a wine wikket.

It's a goblet holder designed to prevent wine glasses from spilling in the grass at picnics.

They come in red, white, yellow or blue, and cost $9.95 for four. Call (800) WIKKETS.
