[Guest guest]

Hey Michele,

 

> Hi Again Butch…….

> WOW!! I don't know what to say………..Thank you!! You are so full of

> info. I have wondered for years about the tea and you just came

> along and gave me dang near a whole book on it…….WOW!! I'm impressed

> and you have my attention now…LOL!

 

Welcome you are .. no matter what subject comes up somebody is gonna

know something about it. :-)

 

> I would love to infuse this in my soaps and salves for it's anti-

> specifically. I will research it more. When and if you get the EO

> from it will you please e-mail me. What a special treat for me…

> Thanks.

 

Welcome for sure. We keep a bit of it around usually .. just for tea.

I can't count on distilling it though as it would take a minimum of 500

kilos of aromatic material for one distillation .. that's a good layout

of cash if one isn't sure of a market for the oil. John knew all about

the properties of the plant but that doesn't necessarily mean the same

properties could be found in the oil.

 

> Rose wax is great in soaps, butters, and salves to fix a scent and to

> give a scent also.

 

If y'all say so and y'all want it .. I'll have it .. Rose only.

 

> My Zdravetz/Rose soap contains your Rose Hydrosol, Rose wax, Rose

> Otto, Zdravetz and a wee bit of this and that…very nice everyday soap.

 

Sounds good. Lots of folks using Hydrosols for soaps now. But one of

the BEST soaps I have ever seen .. and I mean EVER seen .. is one Chris

made a bunch of .. using Turkish Sage (Salvia fruticosa). It smells

nice when you use it and you smell nice for hours after using it.

 

> Claymont, DE…I went to Mt. Pleasant H.S. off of Washington St Ext in

Claymont was rough .. I was a young sergeant then .. wasn't commissioned

for two years after that. And living in the Philly area was too costly

for me so I selected Delaware. Worked all kinds of part-time jobs back

then .. and was working as a meat cutter one night when someone came in

and told me some dudes were stripping my car outside. Went out and saw

a car with a Maltese Cross on it .. they had my 60 Galaxie jacked up and

were removing tires .. one dude had cut the battery cable and removed

the battery. I asked what they were doing and it was like they were in

slow motion .. obviously high. One dude reached under the seat of their

car and pulled out a sawed off shotgun. So I decided to leave and they

said nothing .. just kept working on the car. To make a long story

short (cause there was a good bit more to it) the cops came and caught

them .. twas a weird night.

 

> Sushi Pizza…..nnnnaawww not me I like traditional pizza with sauce,

> cheese and regular dough. I do like some sushi though. Are dough is

> made fresh everyday and raised three times before we add sauce and

> toppings. It is a light, crispy, pan pizza. Come have some when you

> come home and come over to the Eastern Shore to find a new home..hint

> hint. We have lots of land down this way. Very peaceful and lots of

> water…LOL!

 

Thanks for the invite and I might just show up with a hunger and my

tacklebox and fishing rod. I love the Blue Tip Crabs.

 

> Well..I will be looking for you in late July….with the rose wax, rose

> hydrosol and of course, you're famous Rose Otto and maybe the

> Sideritis EO??? Keep us up to date. Thanks again for the Tea info…

> still cannot believe that. Mountain Tea heh?

 

Welcome you are fer'shur. In this part of the world anything that can

be made into a tea is often called tea. The Turkish word for the MANY

varieties of Sage growing here is Ada Cayi (Island Tea).
