I call this blog Mon Bateau aka "My Boat" because it'll consist of anything and everything that floats my boat. Nuff said ^_^

Saturday Night Live...
*Note click here to see twitpic referenced in chat
Musak Mondays!
I'm actually pretty surprised that I haven't posted this song before. Sia is a fascinating artist to me. You never really know what you will get from her but whatever it is..it's very Sia. I used to have a love/hate relationship with her music. Namely her voice. I love it at times but can often be pretty nasally for my taste. I found, however, that that really depends on the type of song she sings. She does BEA-U-TIFUL ballads that can carry you away. The link is for the song "My Love"...my favorite one of hers (that is until I listen to "Breath me," which then quickly will be my favorite until hearing "My love" once more) Anywho...enough talk....
Disfrute!!

Lavendar Lemonade
| Source: Robert Hnery Vintage |
Lavender Lemonade
Herb Citrus Cordial (makes 4-5 pints)
Ingredients:
6 cup sugar
Zest of 6 citrus, in large pieces of peel
4 cups fresh citrus juice
2 cup water
2 cups lavender
Method:
In a large pot bring sugar, zest, juice, and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat. Add the herbs and let the syrup infuse for at least 15 minutes.
Meantime prepare your canning jars. Strain syrup through a fine sieve, squeezing out as much syrup as possible from the herb leaves before discarding them. Boiling water process for 10 minutes.
Sip on a back porch or deck and pity those who aren’t drinking this delectable concoction.
