OMG that Zoobana bread looks delish. Also, I am very impressed that you distil your own lavender bread water, and oil soon if I read it right?
Are there any health benefits of lavender when ingested do yo know? I'm curious as there is a load of it on my next door neighbour's allotment plot which he never does anything with.
That kitten too... what a cuttie 🙂😻
Ooh! Culinary lavender is my specialty! True English varieties (L. Augustifolia) are the best for cooking with, which I am sure is what's probably growing in the allotment, and you know, cause of your location 😉) Provence is awesome too, it's a Lavandin cultivar (French), but I grow English varieties because their flavor is awesome and not too camphor-y (That's totally a word, right?)
Anyway, blathering aside, lavender tea has been used for years for insomnia, anxiety, and stress, so ingesting the stuff should have similar benefits. That said, a little definitely goes a long way! If you like potatoes, lavender is awesome in an herb mix with garlic, rosemary, and thyme dusted on some olive oil coated potatoes and roasted. One of my favorites.
And I could ramble forever on that subject, so I will totally cease lol!
The still is for distilling lavender essential oil, for every ten gallons of flowers I get about an ounce of oil and five quarts of hydrosol. It's a bit of a time consuming process, but I love the products yielded and use them in everything.
Glad you think Beans is cute, he's a little ham for sure, speaking of which, I have to go feed him and his siblings, they are getting started on solid foods, I swear they grow up too fast lol!
Hope you are having the best day!

Ha ha, at first glacé I thought you might be making moonshine. But then I read the full post and realised it was no such dodgy activity 🤣
I'm jealous, and yes he's adorable. I can't get a cat being in a 6th floor appatmemt of a Georgian towmhouse, and I just don't think it's fair not to let cats roam. They're much happier when they can do their teritoral rounds.
But I get on with cats so well, and I miss having a kittie companion.
