Not “brave”, just sensible and a great cook. :-)
Gravy. Mmmmm.... the Cracker Barrel food made me think of it. Gravy is vey important American food.
I LOVE Cracker Barrel! :-)
What??? Missed that...
So easy, even an Irish immigrant can do it!

“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.
I’m NOT into eating bugs. ;^)
And modest, too.

You are blessed !
You can get the kind that squirts like toothpaste, too. Far more fun.
You are the one with 21 grandkids? Just zowie! Congratulations!
I think I have that many nephews and n neices, then the greats. Haven’t counted recently...
Mint has to be contained. Their little offshoots get everywhere. I have never grown department. Wonder if it is the same?
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*
Not sure how to post there...do you know how to do it ?
Evidently, Wneighbor has 20 grandkids with one on the way.
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...
