Rosemary for Remberance

Rosemary where I am here in Australia is fairly easy to grow.   It is a symbol of remembrance for many.  It is even claimed that the fragrance can increase one's memory. I wonder.

In my early 20's I would leave the toaster (those 2 door things - not a pop up toaster) or the iron on.  My short term memory for some reason wasn't that crash hot.

And so I learned - if I happen to leave a pot on longer than it should (this has happened many number of times) that Rosemary came to the rescue. How?  Well I put it under the griller to grill for about 2 minutes (not forgetting!) and the scent that changed my house from one of burning to the sweet odor of Rosemary was wonderful.  A herbal gift indeed!
