It's a good thing, too, because I needed his smiling face and skinny-armed hugs.  By the time I arrived I was NOT in any mood to display exemplary customer service.

In other words, if the glorious mint plants that you bought and planted so painstakingly in your gardens seem to overtake everything in their path, USE THEM!  The obvious answer to the common question, "what can I do with mint?" A Mojito is a refreshing rum-based Cuban drink made with fresh spearmint and lime juice.  It's great to sip on a hot summer night, and even better to enjoy with a hot date.  So whip up a pitcher and dig out that Little Black Book. Tabbouleh, A parsley & mint grain salad Another great use for mint is Tabbouleh.  While bulgur...Read More
