Splurging a little

Could not resist putting this in the shopping cart after work. Neither were on my list, of course. The purple labels made me do it!! Those lavender labels, and the promise of having a yummy cookie later, and tasting this new sparkly violet drink. I love violet- flavored anything. Luckily they make violet bonbons, tea, and jam in France. It's like eating fairy food :o)
The Lorina lemonade website is great fun too. (Check both the English and the French versions, they're different!). For more violet stuff, check this out, and here's a recipe for violet granita but you'll need violet syrup for this. Make your own candied violets by following the instructions here. Violets are said to "comfort and strengthen the heart", and this little cocktail sounds like it might do just the trick... Oh, and yeah- it is just like me to get carried away by all this when Violets are out of season! But there's no reason you can't dream about having a Victorian violet Tea party next Spring... (yah- whatever, Sandra!)
