Flourishing Palms: Can you smell them?

Can you smell them?

I wish blogs had the capability of including scent because I'd make sure you got a big whiff of what I'm smelling every day now. A heavenly scent is wafting from the huge, just-blooming, Korean lilac bush alongside our deck.

We're keeping all the windows open now...on purpose!

Ooooh, now you're really making that ticket tempting LOL. I just love the smells of spring. In Australia that means sweet peas and jasmine.

Homemade Basting Spray

3 cups water

1 tsp. salt

3 heaping TBLS. flour

1 cup rubbing alcohol (Vodka works too and makes the spray odorless)

1 clean 24-ounce spray bottle

A 16.9-ounce Best Press bottle works; 2 bottles will be needed.

Combine 2 cups water and 1 tsp. salt in a pot; bring to a boil.

Combine 1 cup water and 3 heaping TBLS. flour in a jar or well sealed tupperware; shake to mix. When the water and salt boils, lower temperature to a gentle boil; add flour and water. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens like gravy. Stir it so it doesn't stick. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. When mixture is cool, pour it into the spray bottle. Add 1 cup rubbing alcohol or vodka. Shake well to mix.

Recipe revised, but courtesy of StringandStory blog.
