Yep, that’s why we did the double take after eating them. HA!
I used to think things like lavender buds, local honey, flax seeds, decent deli meats and green chilies and etc etc were available everywhere…since moving to the South I’ve learned otherwise.
🙁
But with you back in Chicago, perhaps the usual places like farmers markets and spice shops…even a whole foods (?) would be possible sources. Be sure they’re for consumption and pesticide-free. Maybe even in Chicago that’s too much to ask…I’m such a westerner, these things are common out there.

Ha. Are you sure that was lavender you used? Hehe. I’ll have to remember that. I have a brownie mix sitting in my pantry now. So, where do you get dried lavender flowers? 😉

Don’t let the feds know, or lavender will be outlawed

Yesss, curry! We held back on that ingredient because we wanted to taste-test it in it’s more ‘pure’ form, unobscured by the curry itself. But, yum a most welcome addition to be sure.
And you’re right, the best part for me then and now is the shared time in the kitchen with good friends and family!
Maybe we might get to gab over a batch of my ‘loaded brownies’ someday.
Take care, Jane.

The chocolate didn’t work against the whole of the lavender on that day in 2012…ahem…

In reply to Roseanne.

Yes, it is stronger when dried, but I also think it again depends upon the variety – some used mostly for fragrance vs for oil production vs flavor enhancement etc.
Maybe the color associated with this flower will inspire a new quilt design in your future????

H-m-m-m lots of talking about herbs here in Canada these days. I think the brownies sound delicious and so does the soup, although I would want to try the latter before and after adding some curry to the mix. The best part of the mix is the shared time in the kitchen with good friends. I liked clicking on the link to a previous post to see adorable Dizzy hovering over a plate of brownies.I quite enjoyed reading this, gave me a smile and stimulated my taste buds.
