Make multiples of these scoops-on-a-stick and you won't have to spoon ice cream, one serving at a time, in the middle of a party. Dole out balls onto a lined baking sheet. Insert a craft spoon into each, and place in the freezer. Chill until hardened. Roll scoops in sprinkles, toasted coconut, or crushed nuts or sweets, and store them in the freezer on a freshly lined baking sheet.

| Herb Facts: Marjoram |
 |
Marjoram is sweeter and milder than oregano. It is characteristic in German cooking, where it is an important part of the spice mixture for sausage; and in Italian and Greek cooking, where it is used in sauces and meat dishes.
Marjoram is ideal for delicate meat dishes, as a spice in salads, stews, meat and cheese dishes, chicken stuffing, soups and sauces. In traditional medicine, marjoram is used in the preparation of perfumes and soap, and for disinfection and alleviation of headaches and stomach aches.
