AMiancastar Fanning, =July. 3,. 1999 ThTsWeeiTWv A Hint of Mint With summer upon us, the spearmint, peppermint, and lesser known Menthas that taste of apple, orange, or pineapple are in bloom. They are flavorful in soups, teas, and cold dnnks and on vegetables. Peas and lamb are delicious when cooked with mint Clarence Ousley (1863-1948) included verses about'the fleeting nature of sui time: “When the South was in the glory never-ending June, the strings were on banjo and the fiddle was in tune. And ’ reveled in the plenty that we thougl could never pass, and lingered at the julf in the ever-bnmmmg glass.” But, like June, summer (and the mints) will pass, so enjoy them now. Mint “exhilarates the mind” and is “there fore proper to the Studious. ” -NicholasCulpapar(l6s2) us* A compress of mint leaves applied to the forehead is an old remedy for tension headaches.
