hyacinths and raw lasagna


our hyacinths are in full bloom, and boy do they smell nice!


two were toppling over, so i brought them inside. one is decorating my desk...


and the other's in the kitchen.


the ramekin raw lasagna i prepared yesterday worked like a dream. carmella's fabulous recipe from delightfully raw filled four ramekins, with just enough pesto, tomato sauce and spinach leftover for four pizzas. i doubled my cashew cheese recipe instead (carmi's calls for raw macadamia nuts, which i can't find) and felt the lasagna could have used a tad more nut meat, though i did steal some for "sausage" pizza topping last night.=)


upon arriving home today i popped the lasagna ramekins in the dehydrator at 110 degrees, and in two hours they were ready to go.


eggplant caponata topped my garden salad, and johnny boy sauteed asparagus in garlic and olive oil. (garden update coming soon!)


needless to say, my nose and belly are very happy today. i hope yours are too!=)

    I'm a big fan of pink flowers; the hyacinths are gorgeous, especially against your robin egg wall.

    My husband went crazy over Carmella's lasagna recipe. The last time I made it he shared it with a high school student at school and he (the student) actually asked for the recipe!
