I cannot tell you how nourishing it is for me to come here and read every articulate word, and see every delicious image that makes me believe that our minds, spirits and bodies are so connected but often neglected in how we feed ourselves. THANK YOU for melding so many things into one lovely recipe for living, my friend. <br /><br />CHEERS and thank you for ALWAYS coming over!!!

(shame!). FYI "marhaba" is used in Lebanese to say "Hello" (the root verb is rahaba meaning saluting someone. Welcome in lebanese would be "ahlan wa sahlan".<br />Anyway, now I have an incentive to visit his house and check out the stencils! The apple and custard dessert sounds smashing! Love the apple chips on top. Great chicken too. <br />Have fun with the Brits!tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-70358023874834416422011-07-01T10:42:50.044-07:002011-07-01T10:42:50.044-07:00You girls had a brilliant day!

But reading about it here is just about as good as being there with you.<br /><br />The apple custard is dreamy delicious and comforting. I love custards of any kind, they are my most favorite dessert and the kind of thing I bother to make just for me. Never would have thought to add my applesauce on top, but now that I see it, what a marvelous idea!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-217876465598302572011-07-01T08:50:18.752-07:002011-07-01T08:50:18.752-07:00What a fantastic post.

Plus I've been daydreaming about that Aftelier vintage patchouli you pulled out on the drive ever since. So appropriate to the trip, too.<br /><br />So clever of you to have dug out the habits of the most refined Mr and Mrs Church. It re-frames everything to know he was such a stickler for his coffee and entertained so exquisitely. There is nothing that can compare to the life of a rich artist.indieperfumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933060392329498890noreply@blogger.com
