Yo, sup?

[thedeadparrot]

I have been writing! Writing has been good! Except for when I have been bad at it. Ha.

I am also thinking about watching the House finale for old time's sake, even though I've only been half-paying attention so far. I have so thoroughly lost my feelings for this show that I don't even look at my old fic anymore. I love endings, though, and I'm curious to see how they close it out.

Anyway, I have this mint plant that decided to grow super quickly with all the rain we've been getting and such. Does anyone have recipes for delicious things that need fresh mint?

Mojitos! I don't have a recipe offhand, but you can find one online easily. Mint is also really good in couscous (along with tomatoes and dill, om nom nom). And in iced tea, obv.

Ha! I don't drink, but I could definitely encourage the making of mojitos when people visit. That definitely sounds like a plan.

This is one of my favorite summer salads, although I don't recommend making ginormous quantities since the avo tastes best when fresh

(I also ignore the flaxseeds and brown rice syrup part)

Mmm, apple and chickpeas. That sounds great.

I make mint tea from fresh mint and it is delicious! Usually in a French press with lots of cane sugar.

That does sound good! I don't have a French press, but I can rustle up some recipes and mess around with them.

Hooray for writing again!

Then I wrote a whole bunch of other stuff in this comment but I realized I was going off on a complete tangent, so I figure I'll make a post of its own...
