recipe fail, plus a hop, skip and a jump to another blog

I thought I was going to have some amazing recipe for you today.  My first experiment with making a raw “burger” pattie was very promising.

The results were disappointing:

 

Great texture…. taste?  Yeah not as mind blowing as I had anticipated.  That’s what happens when you get carried away, huh?  They are definitely edible, but almost too rich – they are sunflower seed based.  I think I’m actually going to turn the patties into some other creation, as you know I hate to waste food.

On a plus, I received these today from one of my lovely friends:

Beautifulky sweet, sticky, syrupy Saudi dates.  Yummo.  Totally makes up for the failed burger; sweets always win in my book.

Instead of continuing my rambles here, I’m going to pass you along to Claire at Serene Wellness. Claire has kindly featured me in an interview.   Serene Wellness is a lovely place to stop by – beautiful, inspiring, re-invigorating – I LOVE this blog, and I know you will too.
