8 mint recipes for refreshing and flavorful meals - The Washington Post
When I think of mint, I think of summers spent running around my grandparents’ backyard, grass tickling bare feet as I chased my little cousins (or, rather, they chased me). On the patio table there was an ever-present jug of freshly made lemonade, not too sweet and always infused with fresh mint. Something about the addition of the herb transformed what was an otherwise plain beverage into something special.To me, mint is the quintessential summer herb. It cools, it refreshes, it enlivens. If mint is overtaking your garden, as it tends to do, try it in these sweet and savory recipes from our Recipe Finder.
Crispy Chickpeas With Fried Shallots and Cilantro-Mint Chutney, above. Liven up the dinner table with this delicious chickpea dish featuring a bright, minty sauce. This satisfying vegetarian main can also be made plant-based by using vegan yogurt.
Fresh Pasta With Artichokes, Asparagus and Lemon-Mint Ricotta. Fresh flavors are abundant in this pasta dish. Store-bought fresh pasta works like a charm here, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you could always make your own.
Mint Julep. You don’t have to wait for the Kentucky Derby to enjoy this classic cocktail from the South. Muddled mint leaves and simple syrup add an herbal sweetness to the bourbon-based drink. Serving in a silver julep cup is fun, but optional.
Sheet Pan Salmon With Minty Peas, Oranges and Fennel. This one-pan meal is a lifesaver on busy weeknights without sacrificing taste. The use of frozen peas means this zesty dish can be enjoyed year round.
Cashew Mint Dressing. This dressing gets its creaminess from the cashews rather than dairy or eggs. Pair with crudité for a beautiful, earthy green appetizer.
Melon Salad With Chiles and Mint. This is fruit salad with a zing. You can turn up the heat by including the seeds and ribs of the chiles.
Pea, Ricotta and Mint Gazpacho. A creamy, green take on a classic. Mint makes this chilled soup even cooler.
Minty Lemon Soda. This DIY soda is an effervescent twist on my favorite mint lemonade.

A wildfire that spread through a park on Promontory in Chilliwack Wednesday started on the patio of a house.
The Chilliwack Fire Department was called to the structure fire in the 4700-block of Teskey Road on Sept. 21 around 10:45 a.m.
The first fire crews to arrive found a fire on an exterior patio of a residence that was “quickly spreading to the home as well as the vegetation and trees in Weeden Park,” assistant fire chief Andy Brown stated in a press release.

“Initial on-scene crews secured a water supply and deployed handlines to extinguish the fire on the patio of the home. Additional crews stretched handlines to flank the forest fire, while other crews were assigned to protect the homes above the fire,” Brown said.
He said crews worked “very hard” to contain the fire to a section of Weeden Park. By about 12:10 p.m. the fire was contained and crews were putting out hotspots.
There was minor fire damage to the patio where the fire originated, there was also minor damage to the trails and significant damage to the trees in the park.
There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.
This fire is under investigation by the Chilliwack Fire Department.
“The Chilliwack Fire Department would like to remind citizens to be vigilant around vegetation, parks and trails during these dry conditions.”
