Mint

My mother reminded me that her mother, my Grandma Helen Brennan, would put mint leaves in her ice cube trays during the interminable&sweaty&humid&buggy&tornado-y summers of Tulsa, Oklahoma back in the day...I thought it only fitting to do the same with the wild mint that abounds here at The Fahm - in my new freezer. Grandma was a teetotaler, and as a result used the Mint Ice Cubes for tea and water; we may put them to less-than-teetotaler-esque uses, but the Spirit of Helen Brennan lives on in my minty ice cubes....
