Spend a spring day at my cottage with me - it was wonderful to get some time off for slow living after some very busy days working. Sometimes I find myself too focused on the long work days and don’t bother to walk too far beyond my home. But I wanted to adventure further today. To decompress I made a point of experiencing with all my senses (my friend calls it ‘turning the ordinary extraordinary’). All it takes is a quiet moment to ask, what do I see, smell, taste, etc. thank you for joining me ❤️

Puerto Rico Sweet Rice Example Recipe: https://www.thespruceeats.com/puerto-...

Another example: https://thenoshery.com/arroz-con-dulce/

I took inspiration from the recipe below for my lilac rice pudding. Instead of using lemon and lavender I replaced those elements with a simple lilac infused milk and a dollop of maple syrup. I am working on a recipe with specific measurements that I will share once it is perfected.

Thank you to Yoav IIan for your beautiful music ❤️
