I’m a lavender junkie. There’s a theory that I moved to Seattle because it’s the only city where lavender ice cream is readily available. When I was driving to La Push last week, I drove through this area known for lavender farms. They have an annual festival in July, when the lavender is in bloom. I don’t know if I’ll still be in Seattle in July, but I would definitely be up for a trip to the festival, especially when a woman in a store devoted to lavender told me the farms all offer lavender-themed foods during the festival, including various versions of lavender ice cream. Various versions??? I’d never felt so girly. I messaged Rie and she’s up for taking a trip to the festival in July. It would probably only be a day trip, but we would be able to hang out in Seattle the rest of the time.<\/p>\n
Last year, when Rie and Eric were still living in a house in Lodi, Eric had grown some lavender in his garden and said there was so much they didn’t know what to do with it. I asked them if I could have some because I wanted to experiment with making lavender ice cream, but I never went to pick any up before they moved. I would love to get some ideas. In the meantime, when I get back to California and can work out of a more equipped kitchen, I want to make lavender-lemon cupcakes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
