[Sca-cooks] source for marshmallow

[K C Francis]

I have had some growing in a pot on my patio for some years.  This year I 
transplanted it into the ground.  It dies back each winter and then sprouts 
up again in the spring.  Guess I will have to try my hand at making 
marshmallows from it.  The tea sounds disgusting!.
