Kitchen alchemy
The oil extraction stage of chaparral salve.
Dried creosote bush ( larrea tridentata ) leaves in olive oil (extra virgin, organic, non GMO) will sit on a warm, sunny window sill for a few weeks.
The scent of the Chihauhauan desert lingers in my nose, on my hands, from stripping leaves.
