Spice of the week: French Tarragon (week of 21-25 June 2010)
Tarragon is easy to grow and only wants sunlight and not too much water. Fresh tarragon is always handy in your kitchen, as it's delicate flavour is lovely in scrambled eggs and even white rice. In place of dill butter on baked fresh fish, substitute fresh tarragon for a new dimension of taste. If you take the time to make hollandaise sauce for your Eggs Benedict, try chopping some fresh tarragon very finely and adding it to the mix for added flavour. Or, add it to your basic chicken salad, along with some diced apples.
A/C. Sleeping at 1PM does not make for a progressive day, so sometimes it is necessary to get a quick jump-start. Red Bull (sugar-free) can be my best friend. So are Lo-Carb Monster and sugar-free Sobe Adrenaline Rush, although these two are much too big to drink all at once. But I digress.
