sleepy thyme

[johanna_hypatia]

My body is unusually sensitive to not only pharmaceuticals but also it seems some herbs. I'm fond of زعتر za‘tar, a Middle Eastern herbal blend of thyme (Thymus vulgaris), sumac, sesame seeds, and salt, all ground up together. Combined with olive oil, it makes a yummy, classic seasoning for bread. I have some I mixed up last year.

Well, as you know

It's hops that knock me out- they're grown big time in my home county of Kent which is a home of the brewing industry and have long been recognised as a natural soporific. It's traditional here to make a 'hop pillow' (a wee sack filled with dried hops placed on the pillow at night).

Works for me! :o)

Yes... Hops I knew about... which is why the Easter Bunny in the off-season finds employment in a brewery...
