My parents came to visit this week and brought a small bounty from my Dad's garden... I am almost ready to harvest the greens in my garden so I was happy to have a few things we won't see here for some weeks in Maine..
We went crazy for the rhubarb and made rhubarb ice cream with Boppa, a few rhubarb crisps and some rhubarb "sauce" (I boil about 9 cups of rhubarb with 2 cups of sugar and a bit of water and can it). I use the sauce over ice cream OR my very favorite way this time of year - at the bottom of a gin and tonic or prosecco. Yum!
(chasing Boppa who was shaking our L.L. Bean ice cream ball)
The kids had a little in the bottom of their glass of kombucha on
Solstice and loved it. You could also add it to seltzer water instead
for a little special bubbly treat. They love it!
We celebrated Solstice with a bonfire and the kids each wrote on a piece of paper their intentions for summer (I helped Kasper) and burned them in the fire. S'mores were consumed and we watched the fireflies again. It was a beautiful night to start summer.
Happy Solstice!
