Sunday Supper, Summer – Thank you

Monday, September 14, 2009 Sunday Suppers  

My apologies for the few scattered posts, turns out blogging and traveling is a bit tougher than it looks ! Thank you for all your sweet comments and emails ! I’ve just returned from my trip and it was just wonderful…lots and lots of photos coming soon ! In the meantime…I’m behind on this last post, our favors for our guests from the last sunday supper. As a celebration of the sweet and savory we made a sugar and a salt for guests to take home. A lavender strawberry sugar and a fresh mint salt. These are so easy to make at home, just add your favorite spice/herb and blend it in a blender on high for a few seconds. We used wonderful dehydrated berries (which you can find at whole foods, fairway and trader joe’s) and fresh lavender for the sugar and a big bunch of mint from our garden along with a nice coarse salt. easy ! – k.

    thats a great idea. It will not need long time till i try this…

    the mint salt can be used on anything really ! we’ve used it in a salad, over vegetables and poultry. We recently used in a zuccinni salad and it paired well. let us know what you come up with & enjoy!

    Hmmm. I may have to use this idea for Thanksgiving or even Christmas this year. Too cute!

    i love wen, my hair was never all that bad just tangly, frzizy and my split ends were always dry, since wen frizz has cut down significantly (unless I lay down with my hair still wet), I’ve been able to run my fingers through my thick wavy hair, and people don’t believe I have split ends, they have to look really really close to be able to find any. I’ve only tried 2- the sweet almond mint and fig and I like the fig better so I buy a HUGE bottle from QVC’s website but even those big bottles
