Half her herb garden was for cooking.
The other half would kill you.
Sometimes she used both in the same dish.
By some miracle, I'm still alive.
She claims that second half-
the one that could kill you?
Will only kill you if you eat it alone.
Otherwise, you're all okay.
I never really trusted her on that,
to be honest, but hey, I can't complain
because I'm still alive.
She could easily use just a bit too much
of the wrong kind of herb
and then, bam, I'm lying on the ground.
She's described the effects to me
in full detail, but I'll spare you
and keep those to myself.
But if you ever find yourself at her house,
make sure you watch her cook-
and never take your eyes off that pot or pan!
