Did you know that there’s an herb out there that tastes like almonds/marzipan/amaretto? I HAD NO IDEA. How could the Earth be holding out on me like that?

Best of all, it’s a shade-loving ground cover that makes pretty little flowers. We have a shady lawn that could perhaps use some pretty little flower-based cover.

I ordered some. I would like to state for the record that I deeply love the internet. It told me about something that piqued my interest and gave me a method to purchase it. Now I am using the internet to tell you about it. And, if all goes according to plan, later this summer I’ll publish the pictures I plan to make Denny take of a delicious woodruff crème brulée.

Thanks to Delicious Days for bringing it to my attention.

ARCHIVE CHECK:  One year ago today, I was writing about herbs and cute babies.  I’m a surprise a minute. :/

Hey, all you parents who hope to instill a love of interesting food in your children (Danny, Jack, map, I’m looking at you), you could buy your kids this awesome toy sushi set.

Also: thanks to Jack for pointing out that the story I quoted from Canada’s National Post on Friday is actually a hoax. You’ll notice that the story has been pulled; the link I provided now goes nowhere. This site refutes the National Post‘s claim. So, for the time being, rest assured that Iran does not have plans to require Jews and Christians to wear color-coded (or as the Canadians would say, colour-coded) armbands. Also rest assured that anti-Arab propaganda lives on, even in gentle Canada.
