Many plants are beyond inedible, to the point of being poisonous. Others, however, can be eaten—and can be made into quite delicious meals. Take the nasturtium, for example. This wide, hibiscus-like flower makes an oil similar to that of the watercress, and its peppery flavor is very tasty when used in salads. Pickled nasturtiums, stir frys made with the flowers, and many other popular foods can be made with nasturtiums. They are also a popular garnish.
Southern style sweet tea may not be the healthiest drink for you under the sun—even if it is sun tea—but dang, is it awesome. It’s quite possibly the tastiest liquid on the planet, and though you can add this or that to it, nothing but the tea, water, and sugar used to make the basic recipe is really needed.
That said, if you want to really make your Memphis sweet tea something special, why not add some fresh mint? Not only will it smell awesome in your garden, it will elevate your tea to the next level. Yes, it will look pretty, but it will also be tasty, too—so don’t just do it when you are having company over. Save some for yourself, too.
Does anyone out there know a good place to get Roses for Valentine's Day in Memphis, Tennessee? When I search for florists I actually find a ton of them that are selling flowers but with no reviews and then I find some with great reviews but the have since closed down. Is it worth it to just go to a national or internet chain or is there a florist that is THE place to go in Memphis that I am just not familiar with.
Let me give you what I am looking for and lets see what we can find? Valentine's Day is a little over 3 weeks away and I want to be prepared!
So, basically I would like to get at least a dozen roses, delivered to my sweetheart - with a note, for less than $30. I would like to find a local place that way I can hand write the note but I am not sure if there is going to be any in my price range. Anyone have any ideas?
