Green market 3 "Some wacky weeds"

When you think you have seen it all, bam!!! something new right up in ya face! pineapple mint!!! Pineapple sage, grapefruit mint!!!! Hello why have i not seen these plants before??? am i not in the loop? am i no longer "in the know"? HELP ME.....
Lets start out with my favorite, pineapple mint. OMG not only does this plant have a very strong pineapple scent its also very beautiful. It taste
just how you expect it to taste, both pineapple and mint are present in it flavor. I am very exited to put this in a pot and spend all summer using this herb in some recipes. How great would this be in fruit salads, salsa, pesto I could come up with a huge list of things to do with this herb. I will be cooking with pineapple mint this summer and yes, i'll post all the recipes for you

guys. Moving on.
Pineapple sage has a very green flavor but you do get some pineapple flavor in there too. It does not taste like sage at all, so it was a little disappointing. I am still going to find some cool things to make with it. Next is the strange grapefruit mint. It taste a little like mint and a little like pineapple, but i think it has a flavor all
its own. I cant quite describe it and cant decide if i like it!! its different. Ok well now i'
m inspired and hope you feel the same. So go to the farmes market and grab some herbs

Green Market

There is alot of things i love about NYC, the people, the architecture, the shopping. I think one of my favorite favorite things is the green market at union square!!!! ohhhhhh god, i love it!
They have some amazing venders. Organic and local cheese, breads, and an bunch of other culinary goodies. In the colder months i always start with some warm pear cider to perk me up, it always hits the spot. I wish i could tell you what venders i love the most... but i don't remember :( Well cheer up kids, because i am going there today!!!! yup its true, im going into the city and am going to report back all the great things i find at the market. So in advance, your welcome!!!!!!
See ya later.
