Show 142: Sweet Woodruff and Summer Squash

In this episode, I talk about the medicinal properties of Sweet Woodruff. This amazing herb is not only good for the liver and stomach, helps heal wounds and is sedative, but makes a good substitute for vanilla! I also discuss various ways to cook zucchini and summer squash and give you my recipe for fried squash with a horseradish/mayo dipping sauce, which is one of the most fantastic dishes I know. And, oddly enough.... or perhaps not surprising if you listen to the show and know how my mind wanders, we discuss Redd Foxx, Malcolm X and Bill Cosby, cooking fats and wine.<br /><br />Next month, I will be taking part in the Christian Herbalist Conference.
