Thank you! I just got some more culinary lavender yesterday and I’m dying to use it! I had been using lavender oil to cook for a while. I missed whole lavender.
Holler, does it grow well in your area? I need to get to your blog more often, I always enjoy the visit.
That is quite a list! I fancy tring the sorbet with lavender. It is something I have never thought of cooking with before.
Ivory, thank you! I don;t know, I have heard of buying time but I can’t seem to find the right store! You sew and are looking for time to bake and I bake and am looking for time to sew!!
