1 The French lavender is still beautiful even as it fades.

2 I had cooked Lettuce with Peas the French way before but never tried Little Gems grilled or fried. I did them in just a smear of butter in the non-stick pan and served them with Halloumi Peppers and they were delicious!

3 At almost 10pm after the match (which we won!) the light was still good and I took this shot up the garden. The pinks in the foreground smelled absolutely lovely.

Looks good – how do you fry lettuce? Never heard of it before. ~Patty

Hello, it has to be the small tightly leaved Little Gem I think that you cut in half and put the cut half down first into a little hot butter. When it’s brown, turn it over for a few moments but beware over cooking as it can get bitter. I’m told it looks particularly good if done in a griddle pan but I don’t have one.
Hope it works for you

Great looking little meal. The Halloumi and peppers has become a favourite of mine, thanks to your cooking.
