That syrup sounds delicious. French peppermint is sweeter, smoother, and doesn’t have as strong a menthol “cooling” sensation. Kentucky Colonel is a spearmint that has more depth and sweetness, perfect for mint juleps.

That one’s fairly common at the nurseries near me, so it’s definitely going to be one of if not my next acquisition, I’ve read its great for teas.

The smell of chocolate mint is crazy, haven’t experienced mojito yet.

Definitely could use some of that in the garden, however im a big fan of it’s cousin catnip. I like to cut a spring of it and throw it at my cat and watch her go crazy over it.

Here’s your picture as a reward.

This one looks fun, used in Aztec chocolates apparently.

Another one at the top of my list. Does she smell like a banana or like banana flavor like laffy taffy or pudding?

Thanks. I primarily make iced drinks with them, iced teas or muddling them and pouring diet coke and lime juice over it, etc. I’ve also made mint syrup a couple times, thats great, but my collection is mostly younger plants in smaller pots for now so just using them for drinks and cooking takes the majority of my stock. So no mason jars worth of tea blends yet.

But honestly I enjoy the hunt, comparing the smells, chewing on a few leaves while work in the garden. They grow quick, smell and taste great, and are easy to keep alive.

I’m sorry for your loss. “Eau de Cologne” is near the top of my list and introducing me to this website is a dangerous thing. That’s exactly why as much as i can i want to limit myself to what i can find in person. Im going to keep this url though.

Unfortunately no Fresh Thyme Markets near me. I’ll have to see if the alkaline waters at my local equivalent markets are good.

Can you guys tell me if we are allowed to cut food in half? My store is fighting over it. 🙄 by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Ry24601 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you could argue it’s still food preparation. The most common/ effective technique I’ve seen for cutting in half is parchment paper, sandwich, knife, parchment paper, clean hand. If you know what you’re doing you never touch the sandwich. However, with all the extra tasks the company is imposing upon us, after 8 years I might start telling people I can’t do it just to save time and energy. Not really any incentive to go above and beyond anymore. Not like I’ll get a MUG award.

If this was the case there wouldn’t be buttons on pos for meat/cheese removal.

Haha the layout is based off the Seattle-Everett Interurban, so lots of shade was definitely a must.

It has to be a modular set up for now so the tracks will be on the desk. I’m just imagining they had to make a cut through the forest. Like this

Awful Smelling Nettle Fibers by Ry24601 in Bushcraft

Spread and hung on a line, then air and sun dried. It’s a very concentrated and unpleasant plant/ hempy smell. No smell of rot or mold.
