Cutting Sorrel
Being an empty-nester i do not make a fuss about Christmas anymore. But i do hold on to that one tradition of making sorrel.
I have been giving my granddaughter for the past few years, a bottle of sorrel, since she is old enough to drink it and like it. She is 11 this year.
And outside of the fact of being an empty nester, my adult daughter and son are peculiar eaters. No meat, peculiar about which carbs they intake etc etc. So there you have it. Christmas for me now is about the music, church, sorrel, and online poetry friends.

HELLO! NOVEMBER
You've heard about the Monday Blues
well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
...sorrel is new to me, thanks for the info.

Though I like herbs, sorrel is new to me. I found they are sold only online shops in my country. Keep smiling, keep tradition of cooking with sorrel.

Interesting. I have heard of sorrel but I did not know it was used for making a beverage.

Some Caribbean food is available in Washington but I've never drunk sorrel. Cheers, anyway!
