The Ad Lib - Cilantro Laced Cocktail Recipe

Photo by Mikey Harris The Ad Lib – Cilantro Laced Cocktail Happy New Year! Goodbye 2020 and hello 2021. The other day my housemate and I were discussing cilantro. Either people love it or hate it and we are both in the cilantro loving camp. My housemate told me she had never been successful at growing cilantro until finally this past year (My housemate is the main gardener around here and I am the assistant). This is because she previously had been planting it during very warm weather and cilantro does not like it when it is hot. She says the time to plant cilantro is in the early spring and then again in late fall. During this month she will be starting the seeds on heat mats and grow lights. After the seedlings sprout and they get big enough, she will transfer them to the green house and eventually out into the garden. If you are lacking space for a garden, cilantro can also be grown in a pot, and or you can find it in most produce sections of grocery stores. I thought it...

Holiday Gift Wrap Ideas

Hey everyone! Welcome back and I hope you are all doing well. So, this year for the holidays I thought I would try out some fun ideas. Since I love nature and being outdoors I thought I would bring that inside for the holidays. I will give you a brief run down of what I have done and then go into some more details below. I made wrapping paper, 2 gift bags that look like ginger bread houses, gift tags, assorted decor and other embellishments. Plus I ended up upcycling and or reusing a bunch of different things that I already had on hand in my wrappings. Gift wrap details: I used a brown paper bag which I cut to fit the package. I had some rubber stamps on hand that were pretty shapes however they were not specifically snowflakes. So, think outside the box. When I put them onto the paper and into this context they magically become snowflakes though lol. I used gouche paint because that is what I had on hand but acrylic works well too. I applied the white paint onto the rubber...

New Adventure-AlchemyBloomsPDX

Photo by Megan Markham Hello there! Welcome to my blog, AlchemyBloomsPDX. During this pandemic I found myself out of work and I decided to get creative and figure out a way to make some money. I have always loved flowers and I have a garden full of them. So one day I decided to put out a table with buckets filled with beautiful fresh cut flowers. Low and behold, I actually had customers! This is when AlchemyBloomsPDX came to life. In my bouquets, not only do I use the beautiful flowers growing here but I also add whimsical touches such as herbs, wildflowers and unique greenery items growing in the garden/yard. So, my plan is to use this blog as a vehicle for my customers to have a way to stay updated and in touch with me. In addition to this, my plan is to share delicious food recipes, bath and body care, craft projects and home remedies. Each will include elements such as flowers, blossoms, essential oils, herbs and other delights from the garden or foraged items. Well that is a...
