Every May I go to the National Cathedral Flower Mart. It's this Medieval festival transported to the twentieth century. Complete with folk dancers, market stalls, and oh, yes, chocolate covered strawberries. DARK chocolate covered strawberries. I love to go to the Flower Mart!
I normally don't buy craft or hand-made type items (it's not really my style) but this year I was going a little crazy and was just buying things to buy them. I bought a couple of blouses (so cute, and wearing the hell out of them), some hair clips, two soup mixes (still to be used), and a Mint flavored honey.
I wasn't sure what to do with the mint honey. So I started by slathering it on Saltine crackers with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese. Super YUM!
But then, I thought, "hey, I bet this would be delicious in my morning smoothie." AND INDEED IT IS!
I gobbled down my Minty-Strawberry-y-Honey surprise every morning. And I was happy to do it!
After the honey was gone, my morning smoothie lost a little something. I didn't have that minty-smug secret that put such zing into my walk to work. I tried regular honey. But. meh ... it wasn't the same.
Forelorn, I wasn't sure what to do to get back my mornings. But then! I realized that I could probably buy more honey on the Internet. God Bless the Internets!! I blithely bought 3 more herbal honeys: Cinnamon Spice, Lemon Verbena, and more Mint. I cannot wait to mix up the Cinnamon Spice into a PEACH smoothie.
SHUT. UP. It's gonna be mega-delicious.
Seriously, if a condiment can change a life, this herbal honey is changing mine. It's the little things, friends. The little things.

I'm feeling a little sad for Mustard right now. After all these years you're tossing him aside as your favorite condiment for a little mint honey. Just because it's younger and fancier? Shame on you. Shame.
i thought the same thing that camie did! poor mustard.
