I had a few ask why I was going to be at the WRCN live broadcast.
Answer: I wanted to do a little PR. (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)
There were also men in kilts, (I wanted to see if those plastic beads work as well on kilts as they do on women's shirts in New Orleans) step dancers, a band, dancing, comedians, not to mention it is the one day of year I can start drinking before noon and no one thinks anything of it!
St. Patrick's day is my 2nd favorite holiday, second only to Halloween, which is the one day of year I can come out of the closet.
Now, why am I good for your health?
This is taken from an Real Age article
A Sprinkle of Cancer-Fighting Spice -- Nice!
Whether you steep it, saute it, or soak it, oh-so-savory rosemary can elevate both your culinary skills and your health.
Why? Because not only is it one of the trendiest cooking spices, but the fragrant needle-leaved herb is also showing early promise as a cancer killer.
Antioxidant Action
Human studies are needed to confirm the effects, but in cell studies, rosemary extract has given both breast cancer and leukemia cells a real fight. That's good news about an herb we already know is chock-full of antioxidants -- those free-radical killers that help protect you from cell-level damage. (Get the skinny on protecting yourself from the aging effects of cell damage in the YOU: Staying Young Center.)
4 Ways to Get More Rosemary into Your Life
- Stick a fresh sprig in your lemonade, or steep it in hot tea.
- Add chopped rosemary to your tossed salads.
- Use fresh or dried rosemary in marinades for meats or vegetables (olive oil, fresh or dried rosemary, and soy sauce make a nice, simple one).
- Try this delicious rosemary-infused recipe from EatingWell.com: Garlic-Rosemary Mushrooms.
Everything's Coming Up Rosemary
More reasons everything's rosy with rosemary:
- It could give your brain a boost. Find out how with this aromatherapy article.
- It may make your meats safer. Here's what it does to meat.

Spring has almost sprung. Start planning your garden now, while you sip a warm cup of fragrant rosemary tea. Be sure to include this tough cancer fighter as part of your herb section -- not only is it a delicious flavor booster, it's also a hearty grower that will turn even the blackest thumb green.

To all of you who just recently have encountered "Rosemary" I can truly say that she is good for your health!
I have known her for many years and she has been NOTHING but an inspiration and a TERRIFIC friend!
Guess I will now have to try adding the "herb" to my diet also.
