What a way to spend them morning. In the black locust tree grasping for flowers, listening to the buzz of bees higher up in the tree collecting that sweet, sweet nectar. The black locust in our yard does not flower every year. This year it is covered in blossoms and every black locust tree that I see is also covered. The smell is ethereal, intoxicating. Orange blossom water? How do I describe that smell, that taste? Imagine yourself covered in blossoms as you reach for the next tendril. Of course we want to add this to our dessert list. How could we not? What else can we use this flavor in? At this point on the precipice of our market cooking day flavors seep in at the spur of the moment. We can give you our intention of menu for the day but saturday may hold a few more surprises as the week unfolds. So far this is the menu. If we decide to add anything else we will let you know. All the best until then….
