This is a collection of folklore, stories, poems, and history about fifty-two herbs designed to inspire your creative writing. You will explore everything from a conversation between basil and salt; to creating your own traditions for National Mustard Day! Discover with your words the rhythm of place and food as medicine! Write about dreams and desires. You will know herbs in an entirely different way as you write limericks and letters and love songs inspired by the lingo of our plant allies!

"Based loosely, or tightly (who knows for sure) on some real truths about life in and around the small town of Toronto, Kansas. These Lizard Lips stories will leave you smacking your own lips and wanting more-sweet romances and spicy adventures. You will learn about the importance of chocolate and what to do with old cans of Spam. There are local recipes for serving up a good time and Rumpledethumps. Why there's even a remedy for using cow dung mixed with molasses for curing headaches! You might discover where to find lunch for $1, the tallest stack of pancakes, and dinner-plate-sized cinnamon rolls. And, of course, a whole menu of characters likely to show up on a Sunday afternoon at the Lizard Lips Gas Station Deli and Bait shop in Toronto, Kansas. Pick up a copy of this book and head on over to your nearest lake and discover some tall tales."--
