Kate - indeed! Happy gardening!
Jennifer - thank you! Oh the worms gross me out too, and I'm in the midst of a battle with some slugs. Hope I'm the winner!
Movita - I bet you have a gorgeous yard - I planted several perennial beds too over the years - can't wait for my alliums and poppies to open soon. And yes, the fur babes are happy with the squishes, but on their terms only. Typical.
Julia - Yay! One always needs a good ground lamb recipe. Happy to help out :)
Needful things - thank you kindly. I wish I could share one with you too :)
Val - thank you!
Jess - thanks lady! Ah, the fresh veg this time of year really makes the tostada over the top delicious. Sour cream, too!

My mouth is watering just looking at the tostadas!...

My mouth is watering just looking at the tostadas! I love that you went with lamb, and all the fresh veg looks so good! Happy gardening!

So colourful and I am sure it was quite tasty!

Your tostadas look so cheery and delicious I wish I could reach in and scoop one up right now! Glad to know that you're doing better and happily indulging in things you enoy :)

OH So colorful and tasty! I have ground lamb in the freezer and have been collecting recipes to figure out what I'm going to do with it. This recipe is definitely the golden ticket to deliciousness!

Work term + school + real job = no veggie patch this year. But our property is covered in perennial gardens to keep us busy! So rewarding when you get jealous looks from the neighbours.

Glad you're back in squish mode with the fur babies! Those tostadas are probably partially responsible for your recovery...

Wow. These look beautiful and most importantly, delicious!

I'm with you on gardening, but must admit to not being a fan of the worms. They always creep me out a bit, even though I know how beneficial they are.

I'm with you. When I'm busy in the garden, food has to be quick and dirty - as you say :)

This is such a gorgeous looking dessert and your photos are stunning! I've never tried making panna cotta, but you've made me really want to!

2013-05-20T08:34:01.626-06:00

Delicious! I prefer a bed and constant warmth over the cold hard ground too but seems like there's always lots of fun memorable experiences tied to camping that make the whole thing worth it. Love this clever recipe to take camping with me!

2013-05-20T06:58:15.416-06:00

I have a confession: I have never, ever once been camping. I'm with you- I like a hot shower and sleeping in a bed without worry of creepy-crawlies (or worse) joining me. If I ever own a lakehouse, you'll be at the top of my guest list, especially if you promise to make this delicious looking cornbread.

I'm with you on the camping! Your cornbread so...

2013-05-19T18:49:30.164-06:00

I'm with you on the camping! Your cornbread sounds and looks delicious, I like the idea of soaking the cornmeal.

2013-05-19T11:47:35.230-06:00

I know this is belated, but glad to hear that all went well and hope you're doing great!
The thought of this soup has my taste buds tingling in anticipation. Soups are great for chasing the blues away and so I think I need some of this just about now.

Donna - thank you kindly :)
Jenny - I saw a piece on CBC last night talking about glamping - in a yurt with a chandelier no less - and I thought that is so my style. Yours too, apparently. Yay for beds and real ice cubes :)
Redawna - thank you! You have a great weekend too!

Hope you have a wonderful long weekend!

Fabulous post! I much prefer Glamping over camping myself. I like to be one with nature while sitting on a dock, in a Muskoka chair, dangling my feel into the lake with an glass of iced tea and actual ice cubes and retiring to a four poster bed at the end of the day.

On a side note...can we discuss this cornbread? Swoonworthy.

Erin - thank you! I'm doing well, loving this spring weather (and strawberries too).
Val - thank you. I have a feeling I'll be making this quite regularly over the summer.
Julie - thanks lady!
Jan - thank you! The lavender is a definite highlight!

Anon - thank you!
Stacy - the goat cheese mixed into the batter is quite fabulous. As is your lovely gift of tea towels :)
Jennifer - wouldn't you know I hate bugs too :) Have a great long weekend! And I know how much you love cast iron too :)

2013-05-16T16:48:12.285-06:00

Enjoying a non camping weekend myself. Not only because I'm with you on not feeling the need to commune with the bears, but because we have black flies by the zillions out here at the moment. I hate bugs, too :)

Your cornbread looks absolutely delicious. Fig and goat cheese and warm cornbread ... in a skillet. I love it!

And I love the tea towel :)
