    Delicious in every way – whole or crushed in everything V – from salads, to fruit salads to drinks to ice cubes…even in a vase on the kitchen table! Fxx

  • It's that thyme of year hey Fran. We've been in the garden all morning trying to thin out the tomatoes. Just making a gougere with fresh eggs and a little fresh basil. I can smell those beauties from here.

    We were out among the wild thyme plants in the Peloponnese just yesterday Francesca! In a few weeks we will be back in Crete — it feels like coming home. I know you understand. xo Jackie

    there's a lot of poetry in names and words, even the most simple ones . They feed imagination, give birth to pictures that will make us dream .. like this beautiful post!
