Formulating and a western exposure

My tiny greenhouse is up and running! I love watching the tiny plants unfurling, and growing. Unfortunately, it's been a long process. At last I have my answer: I only have western-facing windows! Oh dear. Well, that's alright. Time to invest in a grow light or two. Only a setback, no worries. The kale and beets seem to be okay with their lives, however.

The rest of my seeds should arrive soon, and I can get to my carrots and peppers! I doubt they will feature in teas, but you never know! They will certainly appear in pastry.

Speaking of which, I formulated a super solid recipe for vegan scones! Better yet, I worked in coconut oil for the (healthier) fat component! That's right, no fakeness here. Just honest to goodness vegan pastry, made of real ingredients. Today's flavors are chocolate and orange zest, and the amazing, savoury herbs and nutrional yeast. It's basically a cheddar-herb scone. I know. You're salivating. 

Oh, if only I could send the smells via email. It's a great day in Uptown! 

More updates soon, I can't wait!

Love, Eleanor
