Home Grown Herbs

Rural Ways is now the proud owner of a hand-cranked herb mill. It cost about five dollars, was made in China, and was available for shipping to southern Utah for about another five dollars. On the day of its arrival it successfully demonstrated its ability to turn dried cayenne peppers into "ground" red peppers in just moments. Of course, given that one can buy 16 ounces of ground cayenne pepper for about six dollars, it may be a couple years before the herb mill pays for itself. But, hey, what do we care about the cost? According to "Shirley's Wellness Cafe," cayenne pepper is a "miracle" herb. Dr. Christopher has posted a recommendation to Shirley's web page claiming (roughly) that a cup of cayenne tea will cure a heart attack. I'm not sure about that, but I'm looking forward to sprinkling it on a big plate of huevos rancheros this weekend. Check out Shirley's here:

  1. Sounds like one of those "kill you or cure you" things. Hope I never have reason to drink a cup of cayenne.
