My kind of herb

I like to have herbs on my kitchen windowsill in the 'summer'.

I use the word summer loosely as you can see how wet it is here.

I usually have rosemary in the house as that's my favourite herb - we use it a lot with roast chicken or saute potatoes and the smell is just gorgeous.

When I went shopping on the weekend I came across 'chocolate mint'.  

I never use mint as it's typically used with lamb I don't like lamb.

I never thought of chopping up mint to use in cream with chocolate desserts (as the label suggested).

What a great idea!

I put it in a lovely zinc bucket I recently bought with has a blackboard section already on it.

I know it's pretentious but 'menthe chocolat' looks so much more appealing than 'chocolate mint'.

I haven't used it yet but am looking forward to.

On the opposite side of the window sill is one of my purchases from my trip to New York in February.

A gorgeous Pure and Good soap bottle from Anthropologie.

Have a lovely weekend.
