Supposedly a picture is worth a 1000 words so I’ll let my camera do most of the talking and then top it all off with a pretty vintage image my friend Pam has generously donated for you!
These were some of the lovely blooms I saw this week. Now, onto the kitchen:
Love having fresh herbs etc in the kitchen – bringing in oregano, chive blossoms (baked into an artisan cheese bread) and…
I tried my hand at freshly toasted coconut – my Mr bought me a “nut” and milked it and broke the shell and then shaved the meat with a very sharp veggie peeler. I browned it in the heat and I will tell you there is NO comparison to store bought packaged. You must try this!
And onto a few odds of photos:
This is a little fishing lake not so far from us where we often like to escape to – only there is usually MANY feel of bare beach in front of that picnic table – I’d say about 40 feet!
Beautiful horses – gorgeous photo op!
And last but not least (or best for last, perhaps?) Here is the promised freebie of a vintage page from my friend Pam – more to come soon!
Click on the image to download! Personal use. Please leave some love for Pam here – she’s not a blogger and this is also her first time to give anything away! A little encouragement goes a long way.
PSSSST – I see KimB has a pretty Gift as well for you – and she could use some kind words to WARM her up – yes, she does live in South Africa… but oh my I do believe I saw SNOW on her blog!

ReplyDeleteBonjour Barb,
Though you could think i had forgotten you, i didn't. Since March :
1) Double slipped disc, 2 months laying in bed on the back.
2) My hard drive died...The technician brought my computer back this evening and i have a lot of work ahead to reinstall some softwares. As to my personal email, it just vanished (e-mails, contents and precious datas)Nothing to be retrieved at all...
But as would say Elisabeth (the second): "C'est la vie."
Your flowers are superb ! Would you know the name of the blue ones ?
Fresh herbs in your bread is a very good idea, with some olives it would sound like a "provençal" bread...
I would never have had the idea to toast (don't know whether this verb is right) coconut flesh but i will do it knowing the taste is far best when grilled like almonds or hazelnuts.
I'll be back...
C from Paris ☺ ♥
Good morning Barb:)
