Celebrating the growing of food in <strong>Ajo</strong>, as<br />
well as the community spirit behind it all.<br />
Rosemary lives in <strong>Ajo</strong>. I’m<br />
not writing about Rose Cameron,<br />
or Rosie Manditch, or Rosalia<br />
in Why (you should visit her<br />
awesome rock shop someday).<br />
Rosemary in <strong>Ajo</strong> grows as an evergreen<br />
bush; the crushed leaves<br />
are delightfully fragrant and make<br />
a delicious herb for seasoning<br />
your soups, stews, veggies, bread<br />
and meat.<br />
When children praise something<br />
that their mom cooks, then<br />
you know it’s good. And that is<br />
what the children of Josie Robles<br />
do. They praise their mom’s rosemary<br />
potatoes. Josie says to cube<br />
your potatoes (with or without the<br />
skin) into a microwave dish, add<br />
plenty of butter, as much salt and<br />
garlic and rosemary as you wish,<br />
and cook in your microwave oven<br />
until tender. But the best way, says<br />
Mom Josie, is to fry the potatoes<br />
in olive oil, adding the salt, garlic<br />
and rosemary as the potatoes<br />
cook.<br />
When the Christmas season<br />
rolls around each year, the wise<br />
person remembers rosemary.<br />
Rosemary bushes, shaped like<br />
Christmas trees, can be purchased<br />
to use as your family tree, Not<br />
only does this small tree smell<br />
wonderful in your home, you can<br />
clip some leaves to season your<br />
holiday meals, and then after<br />
Christmas take that bush outside<br />
and plop it into your garden. Give<br />
a special name to each year’s new<br />
bush, like Frosty or Rudolph or<br />
Mitt or Barack!<br />

Twelve days<br />
The words to the song Twelve<br />
Days of Christmas originated in<br />
1780 in England and were sung to<br />
a tune that originated in France at<br />
a much earlier time.<br />
It has no religious significance<br />
but is thought by some to have<br />
been a game to help children improve<br />
their memories.<br />
