Rosemary

Putting chopped rosemary in your bread maker when making bread will make the whole house smell delightful. Warm rosemary dipped in vinegar and olive oil makes a great afternoon snack. (This is the herb they use in the bread at Macaroni grill.)

Rosemary has a long list of medicinal uses. It’s used to treat depression, headaches, muscle spasms, late menstrual flow, and eczema and gallbladder issues. Rosemary also helps with memory and learning.

Rosemary is bound to the fire element and the planet Jupiter. In Medieval times it symbolized love and friendship. Rosemary wreaths were placed on the door for protection and were also thought to ward off bad dreams. The fragrance is said to lift the emotional spirit and give a youthful outlook.

    Mark’s Daily Apple was just blogging about rosemary yesterday too. It is in season now, so everyone should be picking up fresh bundles! Also in season: leeks and sweet onions and the beginning of some of the stone fruits. I notice rosemary seems to aid digestion and stimulate energy. Anyone else notice this effect? Thanks for the great info as always Shauna! :)

    That’s funny, I actually wrote it on that same day. Rosemary must be in the air.
