HOw To GIFT OF INDIAN GHEE SWEETS

One of 2nd Man's coworkers gave him this as a gift when she returned from visiting family in India.  It's her favorite candy and knowing 2nd Man is a "foodie" person, she wanted to share.  


They came wrapped in a beautiful paper and even the box was pretty.  These are made by a company called Balaji.

They are certainly impressive inside, a couple even covered in edible gold leaf.  As for the taste, well, they were different.  I really liked the one with the chocolate chips and the almond one.  2nd Man liked the gold leaf and the chocolate chip one as well.  

It's fascinating trying sweets from another country using different spices and seasonings.  It reminds me of a couple years back when sweet friend of the farm Fiona sent us a package from Australia (and it was all delicious, even the Vegemite, ha).  

Was at the farm for two days, got a lot done, updates to come.  Staying in town today since it's back to work tomorrow.  Have had some great Thanksgiving leftovers, creations by 2nd Man LOL, more on that coming up too.  

Hope you are having a great weekend!  I will catch up on all of your wonderful comments later tonight.

 UPDATE:  There was some sort of error with commenting so I temporarily changed the format, it's the same, it just opens in a new window instead of embedded, but after you type you comment and you click to submit, it just means you have to click on the blog name at the top of the page again to go back.  Hopefully this will just be temporary.

HOw To HORTON HEARS A WHO FLOWERS IN BLOOM

For some reason, these don't always appear at the farm each Spring.  Because of that, we love that somehow they are rarer than the other things popping up on a regular basis.   Dr. Seuss flower? Sure enough, last weekend, they were in a few patches around the farm.  The first time we ever saw one, the FIRST thing we both said was... HORTON HEARS A WHO!!!!!!! The iconic Dr. Seuss character who finds a whole world living on a speck on an awesome looking pink and yellow flower.  Horton Hears a Who flower The only thing missing on ours are the striped stems, ha.  They are SO pretty and so unusual, even if it is "just a weed", we love having them around.   I thought about cutting some to put in a small vase and see how long they last...and maybe we'll just have to start listening a little closer to them. Hmm, just thought about it, maybe I should try to press some in my flower press?
