Herbal Heaven

Last Thursday, we went to an incredible organic garden outside of Alsea, Oregon, called the Thyme Garden.It's an 80 acre spread that accommodates their medicinal herb garden, their cooking herb garden, a butterfly garden, lots and lots of flower gardens, a habitat area for salmon and water birds...it's just beautiful.


But the creme de la creme was the lunch.

The salad was adorned with edible flowers. and bordered on too beautiful to eat.








Same with the main course. We had wild salmon baked in a pastry crust with a cream cheese and herb stuff spread over the salmon. Then there was quinoa and a wonderful squash bake.















And as if that wasn't enough, we then had a baked meringue that was filled with a creamy sweet custard and blueberry compote.

Yum.
