Soul food

I grew fennel in my herb garden this year. I have never in my life actually cooked with fennel, but it was so pretty I had to plant it. It grew to be almost 6 feet tall, with reddish, ferny leaves. It looked a bit like Cousin It from the TV show The Adam's Family, towering over the rosemary, dill and tarragon. I probably wont cook with it even though I grew it, but it provided food for my soul and made me smile all summer long...
