This painting shows the view of some of the rooftops near the Pompidou Museum in Paris. I love the architecture and old building there and the soft yellows and greyish-blues are beautiful. One of the first things I noticed when I arrived in Paris was the incredible number of chimneys they have!

Lavender fields - Lavendel marker

Well maybe not quite a field - but enough to make a nice big bunch to hang up and dry. I love the smell of lavender, it reminds me so much of Provence.

~ ~ ~

Godt nok ikke en hel lavendel mark, men dog nok til at jeg kunne få plukket et stort bundt og få det hængt til tørre. Jeg elsker duften af lavendel, det minder mig om duften af Provence.

 Lavender is sometimes added to the French herb and spicemix called Herbs de Provence. Here is the recipe to make it yourself. ~ Lavendel bliver nogle gange brugt som en ingrediens i den franske krydderiblanding, Herbs de Provence. Her er opskriften og blandingsforholdet.

• 3 tablespoons oregano leaves / Oregano
• 3 tablespoons thyme leaves / Timian
• 1 teaspoon basil leaves/ Basilikum
• 1 teaspoon sage leaf / Salvie
• 3 tablespoons savory / Savoy
• 2 tablespoons lavender flowers / Lavendel blomster
• 1 teaspoon rosemary/ Rosmarin 

Mix well and store in an airtight container in a dark, cool place. Some recipes contain fennel seeds or marjoram, experiment and find your own favorite combination. 

Blandes godt og opbevares tørt og mørkt  i en lufttæt beholder. Nogle opskrifter indeholder fennikel eller anis. Prøv dig frem og find frem til din egen favorit blanding.
