I'm Lizzy!! and I'm not Martha!!! Tuesday's edition was dedicated to Lavender lowdown. While it is highly regarded as the English garden herb famous for its classic fragrance in soap, and potpourris, it is alsoa great taste treat. Provence, the area in the South ofFrance, is known for infusing foods with the flavor oflavender. So lavender can be used medicinally in theliteral sense and to add a little liquid cure... Oil distilled from the flower has applicat

ions as astimulant, tonic, headache relief, and for relief ofintestinal gas. It is also used to quiet coughs anddisinfect wounds. Applied as a compress, lavender oilprovides relief from neuralgic pains, rheumatism, sprains, and sore joints. This may be a better cure for whatails you... * LAVENDER MARGARITAS 1 cup tequila 1/3 cup triple sec 1/4 cup limeade concentrate 1 cup canned coconut milk 2 cups frozen unsweetened raspberries 2 cups frozen unsweetened blueberries 4 ice cubes 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds In a blender, combine the tequila, triple sec, coconut milk, and lime juice. Cover and turn to high speed, thengradually add berries and ice. Whirl until smooth andslushy. Pour into glasses. You can rub glass rims withlime and dip the rim in salt. Add a lavender sprig forgarnish! ---------------------------
