herbal essences

Good afternoon, people!

How are you? I am, to be honest a bit, (okay no, completely!) absent-minded at the moment. And I don't even know why. I just see the results in my kitchen. You would not have wanted to be my guest today. I will not tell you about all my failures, but this one just has to be told: After having mixed a (seemingly lovely) cherry-honey-milk smoothie this noon, I couldn't find the lid of the milk bottle. Later we did find it, torn into thousand pieces, IN the smoothie itself. I mean, gosh, I really mixed that thing INTO the smoothie! Why?!

Well, anyways, the recipe I have got for you today was created on Friday, so, it should be okay (hopefully more than okay, but pretty special, though). And, good news, there's no milk (lid) to be added.
I had decided to finally use all the wonderful herbs that are growing in our little garden, have a look:
