Cosas Hermosas

Tapas? I opened up my big box of tea today and thought, "hmm, this loose-leaf tea might be really good in food". I researched it, and it turns out that people cook with tea all of the time! I've seen zucchini used as a plate for all kinds of spreads and was really inspired. So I stacked on some beets, macadamia nut cheese, basil, and topped it with a dijon-agave-rooibos sauce. I will most definitely be cooking with tea more often! I think it'd be a great addition to nut cheeses.

Also, I want to learn French. While I don't have the time to formally study the language right now, I have been making it a point over the past few months to learn and master the pronunciation of some sentences (with some help from un cher ami). It may not be all that practical, but I like being able to say beautiful things.
1. Le monde est un place merveilleux.
2. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
3. This third sentence is my current project - I am working on pronouncing and memorizing it. 
Eventually this list will be long.

    That looks amazing and sounds delicious!! You've created a recipe anyone could eat.....like me! :)

    Good for you on learning some French. My family spoke French so the kids wouldn't understand the "adult" conversation. It worked, but makes me sad we never learned the language. It was lost starting with my generation. :( What is the translation for 1 and 2?
