It's been 4 years did not see any Lavender Cotton. Though the occasional smell of lavender essential oils in some cosmetics but it's nothing compared with the purple lavender dust off the bristling of cotton in Europe. If the answer to the question: "What's most impressive U.S."? My answer would be Lavender. Not lovely as the rose, not brilliant as Feng Lu (two flowers commonly found in Europe) but has a beautiful lavender was very particular. If you look at a single lavender cotton, will see the boredom, but overall a flower clusters can feel the beauty of this purple flower. In Europe, most tourists are keen that once stood between purple lavender fields stretching headline breaks away. And I was among them. Unfortunately, it did not have the opportunity to field full of lavender. I met lavender is grown interspersed with lavender and other flowers in the garden, along walkways or tub plant. Six piles of old photos again, still a little photo shoot of lavender on a sunny summer day.
Incidentally, open drawers caught lavender I have remembered not to use dried lavender. The memory of the afternoon sun to capture lavender four years ago where suddenly rushing back. Why only now in the lavender?!
Hold the lavender bags in hand, have bags of eggs for a long time, that is enough important material to macaron.
Before, I did macaron (Mac) green - green tea, Mac pink - peach, cream Mac - Walnut, Mac Gold - lemon, this time adding Mac Purple - Lavender / Lavender for the full set of colors. Interesting seat!

I still make this old Mac in the winter, this summer try the macaron, but in the heat as burned as fuel in Hanoi too!

Mac this is the most accurate answers to questions so long: Mac can be done in the summer in Hanoi. The key would still only at the stage of engineering only! VN to Mac at the course generally have expressed an air, that is to avoid sun on moisture if the humidity is too high because the Mac will be hard dry surface at room temperature. People here talk about how drying (astringent) in the oven once the Daring Baker mentioned, this almost no avail with the Chinese oven temperature less stable in VN. Even after drying with low heat, still baking bread "grin" as usual! Most of the Mac you do succeed in VN mostly using "hong" cake at room temperature (or with the help of air conditioning). Who is the patient, that person will surely succeed! This sentence is as true as "hong" the batch of Mac. Remember that the cake would dry, not sticky to touch new Nhe roasted! Depending on air humidity in hong time will vary, sometimes only a half hours, and sometimes longer than 4 hours!

Workflow Mac Lavender is as I have shared in all types of legal experience make macarons . However, note that adding the following colors for the new batch of Mac found this lavender purple color is most vulnerable to air while baking. Despite doubling the amount of color usually dark purple, but when finished baking became mauve, compared to the original injection at new reduced lost 3.4 share.

Finished batch of Mac suddenly it rained today, perhaps because the sun a few days then ngop too! After a heavy rain, the humidity in Hanoi has increased to 74, moving east southeast wind. Now Hanoi Welcome lose to Mac and back!

My plan is to market to buy meat, shrimp spring rolls served with vermicelli on doing. Cha is a long long time rolls pack, since New Year. His first visit familiar shrimp. Just take words "he peeled shrimp 3 taels for you", he was pert shrimp "prawns today to, I go for the delicious food." Well then get all the way! The menu is suddenly bun nem-way switch to grilled shrimp. The main problem is shrimp or spring rolls are "closed" with beer. It started sultry, what not eager eager eager to go beer!

This dish is so fast, nothing technical, mainly to the oven, bamboo skewer sticks. Without bamboo stick, you can skip the shrimp, but shrimp skewer rod fixed without having the fire will curve into the Nhe! Other forms of time but still like quality: meat fresh and absorbs the garlic shrimp.

Holiday shopping early, buys fewer shrimp delicious, home this afternoon with cream sauce and pasta. But opening a new cabinet that is less than packet pasta, how to meet the two diet now? Take the supermarket just to buy bread or other dishes? In short the dried food is sorghum, rice, wheat, eggs, wheat, vegetables, used this category? Egg noodles are light seems to be with!

Work needs to be done is the raw material processing, shrimp processing, make the sauce.

Need to watch how the cooking is 15 'arranged and photographed before the announcement to the children.

Egg noodles very quickly, a third time with pasta. Wheat finished soft boiled, golden, add little oil for shock absorbers are separate strands and set aside. Cook shrimp with cream sauce quickly all should just take all 15 minutes. Disc and pastas that are still outstanding and the half hour, enough time to make a batch of bread rolls and desserts.

Times of escalating food prices this every day, eat egg noodles savings than pasta. Looks like I remember vaguely egg noodles with good packing just over 10 thousand a bag full 5 servings. Furthermore, anyone interested can make your own map homemade egg noodles ensuring clean fresh food, delicious!

Cream sauce pastas feel heard the name right there but if skillfully processed using a moderate amount of cream will have good food and pretty strange taste. Cream to cook this dish can take advantage of whipping cream cakes, from the need to require an additional ice cream Cooking do!.

Among the noodle dishes, ingredient cream sauce with fresh shrimp is most expensive. Somehow shrimp prices before Chinese New Year still excessively far down forever. Shrimp is expensive but this level still have a week to eat at least one meal for only around fish, shrimp, meat. Ders for a while still, "Oh, or is it". Prices have gone up, but naturally I do not get infected "sick" ... bo ki. As the "economic problem", just buy the island shrimp with noodles finger is good then! To provided the weight is 300g prawns (unshelled) for 2 adult servings. The two-disc bread for his two "guy" pretty big 300g medium shrimp challenged nor missing!

This shrimp sauce noodles into his menus of season, when wet weather rolls out hot run hot and cold like the cold. So this should eat hot food is delicious but of course eating delicious cold also its beauty. I like to eat cold pasta sauce! Speaking to the memory of shrimp salad and mayonnaise mixed vegetables and delicious cold owl use of the VNA on flight Hanoi-Kansai. And by the mention of season weather, people remembered wellness Light: Medicine for food! ^ ^

After Chinese New Year, I received assistance from a bag u master all kinds of spring vegetables. What is cauliflower, kohlrabi, lettuce, some herbs, shallot and garlic to grab one. Among the most precious aid is grabbed me because I never buy any green tufts like garlic. How this tool purple Cu, on the green stems intact. When that kind of presentation drawing certain items cooked with fresh garlic and last but far too busy so the garlic is fresh garlic and then disappeared. But this is not to be so by a long dry garlic and garlic is never a factor. What what what what rust is garlic. If that mentions the use of garlic dishes then the list is probably not ever be.
I like the garlic one (small tubers, small shrimp). This category is not easy to buy, so if I see every delicious garlic usually buy more, buy even sufficient quantity throughout the year. Small peeled garlic with a little bit difficult but Na peeled garlic clove aroma of garlic than his ship - elegant but less flavor. In addition to the items used to make salt, garlic can also use it to make the dishes taste the garlic bread is very attractive. Entry I had knotted the garlic bread , garlic bread sticks are both getting pretty good feedback. This round, there's so delicious garlic country kitchen yesterday I just had a batch of garlic bread to use fragrance to nose level ... deaf.
This cake has aromatic food fight can not (no meat or butter ...) and still be able to eat delicious food in the game or the meals are great. Personally I like the garlic butter, white bread to the bowels, so smooth. Last week the country would surely make a little donation he brought her.
