A few photos of my daughter's and friends / AP photography class.

Lavender

We're still working on our back yard but we're so excited that we had to plant a few French lavender plants. We love the beautiful colors, the look and the smell, they remind me of our wonderful trip to Provence a few years ago.

Meat patties recipe

Meat patties

Originally from Aleppo in Syria. Usually made from ground beef and parsley, I used equal portions of ground beef and minced lamb, a mixture of parsley, cilantro and mint, baharat and cinnamon. The patties came out amazing on half pita bread with purple onion, same greens as I used for the meat mixture, tomatoes and fresh tahini sauce. • You can find the recipe in Hebrew here. I hope to translate this easy recipe and post it soon. Enjoy!
