Closely behind lamb would be chicken and salmon. And I love mint, too, and lamb and mint complement each other so well.

Eating dinner together as a family was extremely important when I was growing up and I continued that with my own children. Not only did we enjoy a nice meal together, we got the chance to talk and share our day.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262406079948479112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-58883331700835893042017-05-30T00:55:48.725+01:002017-05-30T00:55:48.725+01:00Oh I do like mint. : )Oh I do like mint. : )happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-41843300962486428022017-05-29T22:43:24.190+01:002017-05-29T22:43:24.190+01:00...once you plant mint, you will be able to pick i......once you plant mint, you will be able to pick it for life.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04082494067802628837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-33608553001672030842017-05-29T20:21:14.506+01:002017-05-29T20:21:14.506+01:00Scents are incredibly powerful at evoking memories...Scents are incredibly powerful at evoking memories aren't they?

I like to grab a few leaves as I pass and just scrunch them up for the fresh smell. <br />Yes, my Mum always chopped up some mint for her mint sauce when we'd have roast lamb for dinner... that aroma brings back happy memories as you mention. <br />In Summer I scrunch a few leaves into ice cold water as a refreshing drink, it's so nice.<br />Cheerio now and I hope your week is full of joy :D)Sue (this n that)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06391234047655434003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-58008954665926871962017-05-29T11:42:33.570+01:002017-05-29T11:42:33.570+01:00I love mint, and your recipe suggestion once again...I love mint, and your recipe suggestion once again have me drooling over the keyboard!

We always sat to the table when I was a child and it's something I've always done with my own family. It's a time when we can all catch up with each other's lives and find out what's been happening to each other. I love popping mint in to cook with those first harvested potatoes of the season, it won't be long now, yum yum.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-45401298731636867372017-05-29T11:22:46.800+01:002017-05-29T11:22:46.800+01:00I have never tasted lamb.
