Not “brave”, just sensible and a great cook. :-)

“Sirracha? How many American recipes call for that, or curry powder, for that matter?”
==
I add some Sirracha now & then to foods I want spiced up. Great in chili.

Gravy is its own group, on the food pyramid.

Mint has to be contained. Their little offshoots get everywhere. I have never grown department. Wonder if it is the same?

I won’t eat anything that has a name with two consonants at the beginning.

It’s just unnatural.

How about pterostilbene?

It's one of the two active ingredients in a new pill, the other being nicotinamide riboside.

Yup. Mint will do that. I have it in pots all over as well as an old plastic kid swimming pool i buried to keep it contained.

I think its cool how toddlers can learn to find the mint and basil to chew on. I make extremely sure they know the specific places that have what they can try but kids use their sniffers. “Granny, this one smells good,” meaning of course they’ve found it in a different pot and want some. The buried kiddie pool is where “their” mint is but even when they’re real little they find the other locations.

Horrible childhood memory time:

When I was even smaller than I am now, we went to PA Dutch country for a day trip.

My mom just had to stop in an Amish Country Store tourist trap.

While she was gawping at the dizzying quilts and eerie faceless dolls, I opened a can of “Chocolate Covered Ants”.

I *assumed* that was a catchy name for Amish raisins or some such.

Dumped a goodly amount into my unsuspecting mouth and very briefly, savored the melting chocolate joy.

Then came the system-shocking, buzz killing, nightmare inducing ants.

Big, black, crispy ants.

And the legs....so, *so* many legs.

*gag*

I just have to have a chameleon! The geckoes are not eating enough of those crickets!

Where do you get one? I remember them as a child...
