Attention lotus eaters

NOSHING & SIPPING

Remember that crazy lady scarfing down the floral centerpiece in Bertolucci's film The Last Emperor? That can be you. For less than two bucks, pick up this assortment of well-washed blooms to be used as a colorful accent on just about anything: there are carnations (peppery), bachelor's buttons (anise-flavored), pansies (a little bitter), and snapdragons (a lemon lilt), all nestled on morning-glory leaves. Best served at room temperature. Available for $1.89 at Johnny's Foodmaster.
