Just May Day Things
Yesterday's Flower Inspired Menu:
Chevre with chives, ground ivy, and tulips served with crackers and a veggie plate Dandelion gnocchi served with a garlic mustard cream sauce Cheeseburgers (Why? Not sure but Dora insisted on making them) Forsythia poke cake* With a choice of Strawberry wine spritzers or Violet Gin Sours It was a small gathering this year, just the base coven and our SOs. Each of us helped in the gathering of flowers, making of the food, or crafting of the May Pole and Flower crowns. Just seven people getting a bit sun addled (it was 70 which is far warmer than it's been up here in the somewhat frozen north and our bodies aren't used to it yet) picking flowers on the most perfect day of the year. We worked hard for our meal harvesting flowers which resulted in only a few photos of our festivities.
*The forsythia cake was made in my Nana's old cake pan from the 50s that I inherited from her. It still has her signature on it from when she used to bring it to events with her girlfriends (I'm always careful not to soap that area to keep the sticker). She loved May Day and taught me to celebrate it as a child and would have loved so much to eat flowers. I wish that I'd known how many flowers were edible while she was still alive.
