Iv started doing a basic form of the slimming world diet (you know the red days and green days)My mate is eating loads and loosing pounds a week-they have a list of what they call free foods and i was suprised and happy to see this-

Borage
This common plant has an incredibly attractive blue, star-shaped flower with a subtle and refreshing scent. The blossom has a cool taste reminiscent of cucumber, and is traditionally used for decorating gin-based drinks and cocktails - simple and stunningly effective, just float them in the drink or set them in ice cubes. The flower can also be used to brighten up salads, cakes and cold soups.
Free on both diets

As i like gin, and always like to try new things-i can help my NBE program + drink gin + loose weight=1 fab idea to me only problem=i cant find where to buy them any one know?

p.s-do i just buy a plant from the garden centre?

Lol......what are you like :-P

Sounds like the flower is there only to look pretty. Why not just skip the flower and drink the gin.

Gin is not a good idea though if you plan to stay happy. Once known as Mother's Ruin, it tends to bring on depression and sadness.

Why not skip the gin and massage some borage oil on your boobies instead? Try doing this with a vodka & orange in the other hand ;-P~

Failing that........if your lil heart is set on the pretty flowers in ice-cubes, am sure the garden centre would probably sell the shrub.

Love

Hey, I found this on the vortexhealth.com site: "Charles Dickens is reputed to have been particularly fond of borage punch - a rather potent concoction of sherry, brandy, apple cider, lemon, sugar and borage flowers. The famous gin based drink, Pimm's No.1, has borage as one of its important ingredients."
