Today marks the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens. For us Pacific Northwesterners, we clearly remember the day of May 18 in 1980 when our majestic mountain blew her top, spewing volcanic ash that covered everything for miles. While our beautiful volcano lost her summit (when flying in to Portland International Airport look for the flat-topped mountain), I do think this must have added a great nourishing benefit to our gardening soil!
To celebrate her blowing - and us humans not getting Pompei-ified - we've put together some fun lava-related treats:
- Season your dishes with Black Lava Flake Salt, a beautiful and full-of-flavor spice!
- Snack on delicious ash-lined cheeses: French Morbier and Californian Humboldt Fog
- Get Happy Hour started early with the volcanic-strength Lava Flow Cocktail
- Treat your rumbling tummy to a Molten Chocolate Liquor Cake
