So you think it's too early, do ya? We don't! It's hot, and if you look closely you can see my pumpkin face? Okay, my nose is scrunched up and I'm in total discomfort from this extreme heat. The thought of pumpkin anything is encouraging and welcoming during this heat wave we're having in Missouri.
In the days to come, I'll be mixing up pumpkin this and that. Two -hundred bars of naked Pumpkin Spice Soap will be getting wrapped at the shop, and we're gearing up for a record crowd during our Christmas in July celebration next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the shop.
My aunt just sent me a picture of her Heart Geraniums. Such a hearty, pretty little flower. Humble and sweet, and I love the velvety feel of the leaves. I also love the smell of the leaves. Such a unique scent. We have a variety of geranium essential oil's that we use at the apothecary shop. There are more than several different types to choose from, and they don't smell necessarily like the plant. I love the scent of Rose Geranium! If you ever wish to add an earthy floral to blends, don't forget about geranium. The plant also contains unique aromatherapy properties.
Since I started eating more low carb, sugar I've had one thing on my mind, and almost one thing only. Ice Cream! We ordered one of these little ice cream makers so that we can whip up homemade ice cream. I'll use coconut sugar over cane, and add fruit and vanilla bean. My friend Clarice makes ice cream all the time. She is always sharing unique recipes. The latest one, I shared on the last post.
Honestly, when it gets this hot, I don't have much of an appetite. Fresh fruit, veggies, and low carb foods fit the bill this time of year. Fresh mozzarella salads, pesto, and fish taco's included on that summer menu of foods. Now Ice Cream! What's you favorite flavor? Do you think there's any truth to that?
We have a new shipment of clothing and jewelry that should arrive any day, and Pumpkin Spice Soap bars will line up like little soldiers tomorrow.
I had a great guest on the show today. Amber Curry Hinton was our guest and she was fresh and delightful. If you happen to live in the Kansas City area, they have two locations. One in Blue Springs, and the other in Liberty. You can read more on the link above. It's a great shop! Thanks Amber for being a guest on Liberty Live.
Lennis just brought in a huge bag of fresh tomatoes! This sounds yummy. I would opt for coconut sugar and probably add fresh mozzarella or goat cheese.
Rolling, rolling, rolling... Summer is sure rolling along. If it continues to be this hot, I'd soon it roll a little faster.
Happy Summer!
Jill
