All things considered, I accept that herbs and roots are my friends. Ginger, peppermint and garlic have truly been there for me in my times of need with simple and gentle assistance with my hair growth and more uncomfortable times when I have a cold or flu. I pick up ginger from the market sometimes for medicinal teas and I use ginger essential oil for my hair products(adding a few drops to some liquid leave-in to stimulate my scalp). I hear also it's good as an anti-inflammatory as well as a good few other uses.
I stood waiting amongst the others in line at the farmers market in Leimert Park this weekend to pay for my fruits and veggies, surrounded by blackeyed pea pods, Thai basil and plums, still with their stems and leaves attached and that distinctive basil scent in the air making me think of spaghetti. A woman came to the side to ask for ginger and she was informed there was no more. I never saw it because me and Samir got there later than usual. I ended up with greens, plums, basil, yogurt salad, goatcheese spread and herbal-sugarcane detox juice. Not to mention giant, distorted Summer squash. What a beautiful place to take my son to see his people and mine on a beautiful day.
