These February days call for reviving with a cup of hot tea, and one among you has loved peppermint tea, “particularly Numi brand.” So he or she wants to know “how to use my big mint bed, just sprouting up green in the yard, to make a homemade batch?”

Yeast of the Ridge has for many years asked questions about food. So she filled in this morning’s queries to keep you thinking. “Where can one buy pots of fresh herbs? Does any grocery sell them, or do you have to go to a plant store? What is the best immersion blender, and are flat wire whisks as good as round ones? And I am always in the market for some proven slow-cooker recipes.”

DIP

Joe Jumper, whose Clay Pot florist is also sometimes home to Clay Pot cookbooks, is a seasoned cook whose family enjoys festive events. “Joe’s Hot Sausage Dip is a recipe I came up with that our family enjoys for the holidays. It’s so easy to make and is always a crowd favorite.”
