This combination is a fantasy. It reminds me of a trip through Tuscany. Unforgettable. The edible lavender is special. It is not like the one growing in the yard or in a pot. The lemon gives it a special refreshing flavour. I always buy organic lemons. I believe in organic BIO foods. The peel usually contains the most pesticides and poisons.
The Gugelhupf mould is one of my favourite kitchen items. Pure antiquity. I cannot pinpoint the exact date, but it is most certainly older than I am. I bought it at Ecseri, the largest antiques market in Europe. It is half an hour drive by car from the centre of Budapest. I adore it. Whenever I have time, and especially when I have people visiting over, I take them there for a special sightseeing visit. And I always buy something. Everyone can afford it. From furniture, household items through to clothes. And I bargain for the price. That part is the most interesting one for me. It reminds me of a trip to Bangkok. It is a must to bargain with the street vendors there, but not joke around. If you agree on a price and then try a lower one, you have to buy the item, otherwise it is considered an insult.
