More storms, with hail. My husband said there were huge chunks of hail raining down from the sky. Good God, what is going on here? Here's what I came home to today: And talk about flat: Man, this is weird!

The plant does have a mild aroma of chocolate about it, but I wasn't expecting anything beyond that. But, to my surprise, chocolate mint actually TASTES like chocolate mint! T...

Chocolate Mint

I decided to begin harvesting the mint, starting with a pile of chocolate mint that I brought in today. I boiled up some water and, after washing, tore the leaves into it. It's sitting, steeping, right now. The fragrance is wonderful, although I ...
