Valerian Root: Nature's Valium
Valerian Root may smell like disgustingly stinky feet, but it's great for relaxing the body and the muscles.

For months now the US and France have been engaged in a stinky war over taxes on Roquefort, the pungent blue cheese from the south of France. The 300 percent import duty, which President George W. Bush enacted right before he left office, was scheduled to take effect March 23.

Welcome to the Cheese House

I must say, although I was ridiculously full at this point, I somehow managed to make room - which actually came as no surprise.

Welcome back to 'Wich of the Week, where every Wednesday I'll feature a different sandwich I've eaten or prepared at home, complete with photos and instructions on how to re-create it.
