* Culinary lavender is lavender harvested for the purposes of cooking/eating. Please don’t buy the perfumed air-freshening kind because that is going to be utterly gross. Steep the lavender in 2 cups of boiling water for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the lavender. Place the lavender tea and the sugar in a small saucepan and set over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves (you don’t have to put it over heat, but I do this because I’m impatient and want the sugar to dissolve faster and completely). Remove from heat and let cool to warm. Stir in the lemon juice. Stir in the cold water. Add more to taste. I prefer to keep mine on the concentrated side because I like to mix it with seltzer water when I serve it. Serve over ice. Makes about 6-8 cups depending on how dilute you want it.
My friend actually made lavender lemonade before and it’s delicious. Not sure if this is the same recipe, but stillllll
I was skulking around Barnes and Noble and I found this book in the medicine section (because that just where I end up by default) called Outbreak. it’s sort of a soft introduction to micro except it’s in a historical context and the writing is just sassy enough. I’ve only gotten a few chapters in but I’ve really enjoyed it so far.
So if you’re looking for something fun, smart and with context you should read it with me!
GUys okay so 3weeks ago I had a horrible week so I decided to buy this candle I have been wanting
But not just any candle IT MELTS/HATCHES TO REVEAL A DRAGON
Basically I’m so excited, and can’t wait for my baby dragon to be born
Stay tuned
UPDATE!
Wow, okay, so i actually didnt think that this would burn so well, but it is pretty eggcellent
i had to move the little guy off of the paper towel and put him not by a wall, so my apartment wouldnt burn down, which was a solid call on my part
he is so close to being free i can taste it
i am thinking one more day of hardcore burning this bad boy, and my dragon son will be able to be ripped from the confines of his egg prison
Okie dokie! So he’s stuck, minor problem… considering digging him out or just lighting it, but I will free him!!
Okay! So I decided to just light it, and pull him out once all the wax was melted, which tadaaa!
Also totally put the candle in a pan because that’s how all the cool dragons are hatched now a days, it has nothing to do with fire prevention.. please
