Nice post, and great photos. Its inspiring to see dishes made from home-grown (or mostly homegrown) ingredients, and now that gas is nearly $4 gallon, we’ll see more interest in that kind of resourcefulness. Thanks.

Ah yes, the Green Fairy, absinthe. Brewed with wormwood and other herbs, if I’m not mistaken. I don’t know if it’s British or not but you’re right, it sounds like it. Good pick!

I also like things in the cucurbitaceae family — mostly because I don’t have a clue as to how to pronounce cucurbitaceae. Any Latin speakers out there to enlighten me?

As Latin names go, my favorite sounds great in Latin and in English (or is it British? Sounds British). Artemesia Absinthium translates to Wormwood. the Latin names seem juxtaposed, something flowery and something dangerous.

I think the pictures are gorgeous! I’m okay with peas and love mint in anything and everything almost, so this looks like an interesting dish. But I tried some gluten-free cookies once and I have to say that they dissolved like sawdust in the mouth… actually had to rinse them out with water!! I don’t know what gluten is, but I don’t like not having it in COOKIES! :o)
