A word...

...that I grew up with: MINT! Used in exclamation or description of a "cherry" of a car.

Also a plant that my father had grown in our yard. I took a sprig last year and planted it in my yard. It is beginning to flourish as it did at my childhood home.



It smells wonderful in the morning. Chewing a leaf or two freshens your breath. Dried and crumpled over string-beans with a little virgin olive oil is a refreshing side dish.
