    And now it's history. Serve it to him at about one week after putting
    it in the fridge, see what the reaction is.

    No point. He falls back on "I'm 80.. I can't remember that"

    You're kidding. You let him get away with that? I'm 82 and have a mind
    like a steel trap ..... rusted shut. Bv)=

    Seriously, my mind is pretty well intact. Sometimes I have a "senior
    moment" when trying to think of a person or event - which will pop up, unbidden, to the front of my mind 15 or 20 minutes later.

    Unlike some of my age who can remember anything - whether it happened
    or not.

    Title: Rosemary Memory Elixir
    Categories: Herbs, Grains, Booze
    Yield: 1 Recipe

    4 Parts rosemary
    2 Parts Ginkgo
    1 Part gotu kola
    2 Parts oat straw
    1 Part peppermint
    Brandy
    Raw honey

    Combine dried herbs and mix well. Label and store the
    mixture in a cool, dark place until you’re ready to make
    your elixir.

    When you’re ready to make your rosemary memory elixir,
    take a glass pint jar and fill it half full of your herb
    mix (fill it full if using fresh herbs).

    Fill the jar half full with brandy, and then fill the
    remaining half of the jar with honey. Use a spoon to mix
    the herbs, brandy, and honey well.

    Cover with a lid, label your jar, and place it in a
    cool, dark place for 6 weeks. Stir the mixture a few
    times a week, if you can remember.

    After 6 weeks, strain the herbs from your elixir, and
    compost them. Then bottle and label your rosemary memory
    elixir, and store it.

    Usage: Adults take 30 drops of elixir daily.

    It's easier. He has a good memory, just chooses when to use it. :)

    Unlike some of my age who can remember anything - whether it happened
    or not.

    Or my age. I don't remember much beyond what is current. It's both a
    blessing and a curse.
