Guess who dropped in to visit our island bound city?- none other than Milton Freewater's "Cheaper than Vitamins" Teri!!! and her son Tom. I am so jazzed to meet Teri and visit with her family right here in the bay area.
We spent this very special day making Lavender and Rose butters - you guessed it: the lavender buds and rose petals came right from our community garden plot. Mara found the recipes on-line and we figured we give it a spin. For the preparation, Mutti and Yuki carefully powdered the sugar, Kellie picked off the lavender buds while Mara, Teri and Yuki chopped rose petals and whipped the butter. I bought some pre-baked bread to spread the butters on and the resulting flavors were just delicious! Now while all this butter making was going on, I made us a strawberry rhubarb pie served with homemade lychee martinis and a mint lemonade for those who don't partake. Here's a toast to all!

Don't forget, I helped by not getting in the way.
Yes! and Tom was great cuz he kept Mutti occupied when the rest of us gals were churning butter! oh, and Tom was a taste tester for those Lychee martinis- way to go!
