Pablo's weekly menu...



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 bread, found inspiration here and here and spent quality time with family and 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 Chicken basquaise & the Cavaillon melons gave us
a taste of summer in Southwestern France
Boiled squid with miso vinaigrette from Just One Cook Book / White asparagus with tarragon yogurt sauce
Obsessed with lavender these days, after last week's Peach Lavender Custard, lavender yogurt was made...
The cardamom flatbread from Vanilla Bean blog
The daily ripe strawberry from our garden, the near future holds many fruits

Cheeses of the week: Following French tradition, I always offer a little bit of cheese at the end of every meal, between the main course and dessert. Rotation this week: Goat brie & gouda, blue Stilton, Vermont Cheddar.

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.

If you would like a particular recipe on the menu, feel free to contact me! (I marked with a * the recipes that will be the topic of upcoming posts).
