                                                         天氣夠熱吧

                                                       這麼熱的季節

                                               來聞一下薄荷吧暑氣全消.....

        

          

 

                                                      我今年栽種3種薄荷

                                                 除了常年栽種的一般薄荷

                                            還有栽種巧克力薄荷還有蘋果薄荷

 

 

         

 

         

         

 

         

 

 

 

                                                   上週回婆婆家過母親節

                                         我帶幾株已經發芽的薄荷送給婆婆種

                                            她好高興直說聞這薄荷的味道

                                          心情就特別好…..幸福洋溢在婆婆臉上

 

                       

 

 

                          愛在明尼蘇達州~香草就是她的香水~夠浪漫吧

                              最近看一本香草書,裡面提到在古希臘與羅馬時期

                                            擦香水可是男人會做的雅事喔

                                     聽說連哲學家~亞里斯多德也研究過香水

                                        古希臘男人前往沐浴都會攜帶香水瓶

                                                入浴後,他們喜歡擦上香水

                                薄荷香水,可顯現男人的力量,他們會塗抹在手腕….

                                百里香香水,象徵著勇敢與美德,所以他們擦在胸前…….

                                               我摘取蘋果薄荷聞著淡淡蘋果香

                                           加點檸檬和蜂蜜…….幾株蘋果薄荷

                                              午后,這樣來一杯蘋果薄荷茶

 

         

         

         

 

 

                                                看著情人節時栽種的玫瑰花又開花了

                                                   沁涼與甜蜜湧上心坎裡的幸福……

 

                               

 

 

                                                                      晚上….

                                   我用點奧勒岡加點 上次做的香草油煮洋蔥雞肉湯

                                 將雞肉用香草油拌炒……..濃郁的奧勒岡和迷迭的香氣

                                               撲鼻而來加點洋蔥和馬鈴薯還有蕃茄

                                                      全部放入牛大骨湯中慢慢燉….

                                                          香氣也慢慢在廚房散開......

                                                            我就是這樣迷戀在香草裡………

 

               

               

               

               

 

              

 

 

                                                             套句譯者的話

                                                   長期生活在污濁空氣中的你

                                               是否已忘記那路旁花草的味道?還有

                                                      深谷幽蘭所散發出的清香?

                                                    就從現在開始….試著種植香草

 

         

 

 

                                   讓你的生活能充滿那迷人、獨特的香草幸福味吧
