The Bittersweet/Final Day of Work/Granola Recipe





*The most amazing ice cream I've ever had in my life! Ariane's homemade honey and lavender. So deliciously creamy and the flavors oh so complex...
*The sharp smell of tomato plants as you accidentally brush against them while watering.
*Coconut roti with blackberry jam
*Thai iced tea
*Delicious granola. Here's the recipe (adapted from the Barefoot Contessa):


4 cups oats
2 cups shredded coconut (i use unsweetened but the original recipe recommends sweetened)
2 cups almonds (sliced or otherwise)
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
dried fruit (i use whatever I have--this time I added a cup of apricots/cherries/blueberries)

Preheat oven to 350
Toss oats, coconut and almonds with honey and oil
Spread on baking sheet
Bake, stirring occasionally until golden brown
When golden mix in fruit

That's it!
