This year the strawberries that we grow in our countryhouse garden are huge. Beautifully shaped, red in the middle and sweet. I almost felt it would be to bad to use them for jam or baking. So they went into a salad. Our lemon balm is also huge this year. And it smells wonderful. We decided just to sit on the grass, make some lemon balm lemonade and eat strawberries. Elmo the minpin was chilling around sniffing the chamomile. A beautiful day.
To be honest, I am not a great fan of desserts. This might come as a surprise to the readers of this blog as there are so many sweet recipes here, but the thing is, I enjoy making them, but it’s not like I get a craving for, let’s say, a chocolate cake. It’s more likely that I’ll make myself a sandwich, or fix a quick salad, or eat our lunch leftovers, but to grasp for a piece of a candy or a cake, nope.
Of all the things you could do with parsley, chimichurri is for me the best. It goes well with almost anything, it’s super cheap and the taste will blow your mind. I’ve been making it for sometime and this recipe is what I find most fitting to my taste, but feel free to experiment to come up with your own variation.
I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it’s not some place you can look for. Because it’s not where you go. It’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re a part of something. And if you find that moment… It lasts forever.
Heaven on Earth still exists. Skillfully hidden from the hordes of tourists and all the programs designed with a sole reason – to take your money! Phi Phi islands are one of those places. I’m sure you’ve seen The Beach with Di Caprio. Well, something like that was on my mind when I came to Phi Phi.
