I leave a strange week behind, with the feeling of not having accomplished enough of the mountain of projects I have set before myself. Tonight, looking over the pictures of the week, I realize I did more than I thought. I can honestly say this is the first week of my life that I have: made lavender yogurt, black sesame pudding & tomato polenta tart, hand-kneaded black sesame pudding & bread, found inspiration black sesame pudding & here and spent quality time with family and black sesame pudding & friends... I guess it wasn't as an unproductive week as I felt it was. Anxious to get organized and get more posts in this week... Enjoying this food blogging journey and learning experience so very much. First a few photos to share, then the week's menu...
 |
| Peppers and tomatoes for black sesame pudding & Chicken basquaise & the Cavaillon melons gave us a taste of summer in Southwestern France |
 |
| black sesame pudding & White asparagus with tarragon yogurt sauce |
 |
| Obsessed with lavender these days, after last week's black sesame pudding & Peach Lavender Custard, lavender yogurt was made... |
 |
| The black sesame pudding & cardamom flatbread from Vanilla Bean blog |
 |
| The daily ripe strawberry from our garden, the near future holds many fruits |
Desserts: At lunch, I offer a fruit yogurt (or plain yogurt with fresh fruit), but at night, I prefer sticking to plain yogurt (regular homemade* whole milk (lavender plain this week!), sheep’s milk, and Greek yogurt for extra protein) to avoid too much sugar before bedtime.
