[Gudrean]

[Donchadh]

Macaroons!! 

 

Well, I have something specially Grayt for my mentor Keeper @Cross ....

 

 

And I'm told that not a single bit of white chocolate was used in the making!!

 

[Cross]

*hands @Donchadh the dig in cookie* for thinking of me. thank you looks delicious 

 

 

something light for the grey's 

 

[Andy MacLeod]

To be fair, most steaks cooked by my mom ended grey... (Sorry Mom, you know it's true). Like, there is "well done" and then there is "Andy's Mom shoe leather done"

 

Maybe that's why I now only eat my steaks... well, let's just say it will be my contribution for the RED Ajah! 😄

[Cairos]

This is an Earl Gray Tea Cake with Honey Buttercream. One day I will make this. 
 

[Donchadh]

Thank you for sharing @Cross Sedai!!  Perhaps a little something to dip the cookie into and help wash down all these delicious treats...

 

 

Would you like this as a martini?

[Andy MacLeod]

I would eat that Chef @Cairos! 

 

Apparently, an Earl Grey martini is a thing...

[Cross]

pass, i dont drink, but thank you all the same @Donchadh. now i think Mother and @Delenn may enjoy that though

[Delenn]

An Earl Gray Martini?  I think that might be on the bitter side for me. But oh my, the cake sounds amazing! 

 

How about some earl gray cookies and scones? 😄 

[Andy MacLeod]

*Snatches an Earl Gray Scone... yum* Strong showing for the Gray!! 👏 

 

This week, we move to GREEN!! 💚

Captain General @Ryrin, Sitter @LilyElizabeth, Sitter @Dar'Jen Ab Owain, might I invite you to share your favorite and boldest Green foods and drinks?

 

Here are mine: cilantro (i apparently don't have the soap gene) and cucumber-mint water

Granny Smith's

 

[Andy MacLeod]

Ooh, that's a good one! One of the few things I enjoy peanut butter with is a tart Granny Smith apple... Both of their evils complement each other into a mildly acceptable form of gooey-spiky mix 😂

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Oh, I do love my vegetables. Among my favorites are brussel sprouts, broccoli, and zucchini. Mmmmmm. Making myself hungry.

[Andy MacLeod]

Yum!! You are making me hungry too, Sitter @Dar'Jen Ab Owain 😋

 

Just waiting to be made into a delicious recipe

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Asparagus here is normally white. Though most white asparagus is now grown in Peru. I saw a great programme where a Dutch journalist went to Peru and heard that the farmers there got a free supply of asparagus but they thought it was disgusting and ground it up for animal feed. The journalist found this a national slight, so sought to change their minds. Much hilarity ensued - especially when he was trying to ask for an asparagus pan, strangely absent in Peru. 

 

But eventually he had a meal of boiled white asparagus, ham, boiled eggs and potatoes, and those Peruvians had to admit, it was as tasty af. 

 

The issue generally is, that there is a nasty horrible skin that is the exact same colour as the flesh, so peeling is really awkward if you aren't experienced. And unpeeled asparagus is totally minging. To use a Scottish term, lol,

 

I remember my kids needed some convincing, but the head of the asparagus is called a crown in Dutch, so we convinced her it was Princess food.

Does that pass the Three Oaths??

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Totally. What princess doesn't like asparagus crowns? Super lekker, hoor.

I cannot spell princes apparently.

I have to agree with my bonded sister here. Add asparagus to the mix for me, and light on the broccoli.

[LilyElizabeth]

Oh! And dill. Love me some dill.

[Andy MacLeod]

Noted for the broccoli, Sitter @LilyElizabeth!

 

How do people feel about macha?

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Macha is tasty. My husband especially likes it, but i enjoy a cup on occassion.

[LilyElizabeth]

I don't know what macha is. 

[Leala]

It's a very thick, very tasty, very GREEN tea.  (traditionally Japanese, too!)

 

[LilyElizabeth]

I would definitely try it.

[Andy MacLeod]

To my uneducated palate, it honestly tasted like someone had emptied the lawn mower and put the grass cutting into a blender... 🫣
