Herbs enhance the foods we eat, capturing the lure of uplifting fragrances and the hint of romance. They give us an appreciation of subtle foliage, flowers, and flavors. Although the vitamins and minerals herbs provide may be minute in quantity, it is the taste, mood-enhancement and health benefits they give foods that make them so valuable.

Rose Geranium Tea:  In a tea pot, brew your favorite pekoe tea as usual. Add one fresh rose geranium leaf per cup of water. A slice of orange instead of the usual lemon makes a nice final touch. You can ice it for the Summer Months after it is brewed.

Spicy Grilled Shrimp Recipe from Inter Courses, an Aphrodisiac Cookbook by Martha Hopkins and Randall Lockridge "I'll remember feeding him the spicy flavored shrimp — his tongue trailing my saucy fingers so slowly that I'm positive time stopped. I'll remember him rubbing the spices along my mouth, only to lick them off seconds later. I'll remember lips on fingers, tongues on mouths, heat and honey. And I will never think of grilled shrimp the same way again." ~ Anne on her experience with spicy grilled shrimp and Eric, 6 dates in 2 weeks, Jacksonville, FL Juice and zest of 2 limes 3 hot chili peppers, seeded and sliced 2 stalks lemon grass, outer leaves removed, sliced 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, grated (about 2 tablespoons) 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons warm honey 6 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro 1 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined Combine the lime juice, zest, chiles, lemon grass, ginger, garlic, honey, olive oil, and cilantro in a bowl; mix well.

"You may consider yourself happy whsen that which is your food is also your medicine," wrote Thoreau.	Along the Garden Path	He was far from being the first to claim health from the garden. For thousands of years, physicians of the body and spirit--today's doctors and priests--were gardeners and botanists first, healers of aches and pains second.
