*K*itchen *K*orner

A new Friday ritual around our passion for "grown you own produce" 
or at least local, in season and organic. 
Some photos  around what happened 
in our kitchen & little garden 
this week 
a recipe to share.

If you are inspired to do the same, 
please leave me a Love Note 
with a link back to your own *K*itchen *K*orner.


Wishing you a "bountiful" week-end!



Why I am showing you one of our sweet white bunnies ?
No, this sweety is NOT part of the soup recipe.
NO, we are vegan... so not a chance.
But Miss "Neige" is the reason WHY 
I can not show you our beautiful mint plant...
She [well, with the help of her other bunny friend, Lady "Lumi"] ate it ALL.


GREEN PEAS & COCONUT SOUP

1 kg of green peas
1 cup and half of coconut milk
Fresh leaves of lemon verbena
Fresh leaves of mint 

Pour coconut milk in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil.
Add the mint & verbena leaves to infuse.

Remove mint leaves. Leaves verbena leaves.
Add peas.
Mix to very smooth and creamy.
Add water or cow or vegetal milk to your taste and consistency.

Serve warm or cold.

Enjoy!





Have a seat

I love chairs. 
Ask my lovely husband. 
I have several projects  or sometimes works in progress  ( that one may wonder when this will actually be done with...).


So today  is  a quick  post to share those two FINISHED projects made by talented designers.
I love The One day chair project.
I love the one hundred chairs in one hundred days project.




J'aime les chaises. 
Notre garage peut l'attester... ainsi que mon gentil mari!) 
J'ai toujours plein de projets pour re-cycler, transformer de vieilles chaises trouvees en vide-grenier, chez Emmaus ou trouvees sur le trottoir. Ceartaines trouvent le chemin de notre maison et d'auutres celui de mes e-shops
Mais aujourd'hui, je voulais simplement partager ces deux sites de designers que je trouve vraiment astucieux et elegant.

[R] Nesting

The utter simplicity of knits, wool and linen. 
Layered. 
A cup of camomille tea is set nearby to invite a late afternoon nap by candle lights.


I finished those two small pillows this afternoon.
They will be for sale in my e-shops tomorrow (since I am now running a bit late for school pick up... Ahem..).


(as a consequence of being late... Kitchen Korner is postponed too...)


L'extrême simplicité des tricots en laine et du  lin.
Par strates.
Une tasse de thé camomille invite a une sieste en fin de journee après-midi et a la lueur des bougies.


J'ai terminé ces deux petits oreillers cet après-midi.
Ils seront en vente demain dans mon e-boutiques ( dans la mesure ou je suis un peu en retard pour la sortie d'ecole de mes filles... Hum ..).
