 Hello  Folks,
Tomorrow I travel to Philadelphia to the funeral of my aunt who died very
unexpectedly Thursday night.  We are all shocked to say the least.   (Sorry,
this has nothing to do with the post I am about to write about.... I guess it
is just on my mind.)

This past week a dear friend who is a master gardener came  to visit, and
helped me put in a flower garden and an herb garden.  Even though the plants
are little it all looks so cool and for the flowers that are already in
bloom,... beautiful.

So of course now my mind is wandering to herbal things midicinal and of
course, culinary.  I rediscovered an herb book I have _The Medieval Herb
Garden_.  By next year I hope to have a bigger herbal space and will grow
more of the herbs that were used "back then" for healing etc.

It all reminds me of _Brother Cadfael's Herbal Book_. At least I think that
is the title.  Does anyone have this book or an opinion of this book? Is it a
*must have* or is it just hype?

Lastly, I ran into an Iranian site that has many good recipes and also one
for halva... here it is...
