a kiss lighter than air
magically capturing
the essence of summer
in a single bite
although grown as a crop
in Provence for many years
for its perfume
the culinary uses of
lavender are very modern
one may purchase
culinary lavender
at specialty grocers
ground in a food processor
with powdered sugar
then beaten into egg whites
until stiff
baked in a low oven
and left over night
cooling slowly
if you have a Jones
for these
what do you do
with all the yolks
you cheat a bit
and buy some
powdered egg whites

please cut and paste if interested
I have a lot of culinary lavender. Been making mostly tea with it which is very relaxing like chamomile. If I get ambitious one of these days, may actually try this.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I tried to get a bumblebee in our lavender, got to find that !!
