"Never miss an opportunity to add flavor."
--a quote by Mlee's mom
Thyme butter is one of the easiest ways to add a punch of flavor to
summer food.
I love easy "recipes."
Room temperature butter + chopped herbs + refrigeration
= herbed butter.
It's been a crazy week. More sickness, and our clothes dryer caught on fire.
No damage, thankfully.
We're looking for an exterior trim color. Has anyone used Benjamin Moore's "White Dove" as an exterior trim color? If so, was it too creamy? What about SW's Shoji White? Or SW Dover White?
I'm looking for a trim color that will work with the brick's white-grayish tones.
The exterior color is SW's Tennessee Limestone, a warm gray-beige.
Any ideas?
(Note: The weird mullions in the center window aren't staying--luckily they're the "pop out" type. The painters are putting SW's Urbane Bronze on the door, probably today.)
To add your recipe to this week's Foodie Friday, find the blue Inlinkz frog logo (look below), and follow the directions. A link to FF instructions can be found on the sidebar. As always, thank you for participating and reading the blog. Have a great week!



The chopped herbs would be great in my homemade butter! I will definitely try that!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of herb butter. Your home is looking pretty! Thanks for hosting!

Our home's exterior and interior trim color is BM white dove. It is creamy, but I have enjoyed it for over 18 years and keep choosing it every time we repaint.
ReplyDeleteI love herb butter, especially basil butter :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting this party :)
I love flavoring butters with herbs and also with honey!
ReplyDeleteI learned a long time ago to get samples of the paint I am interested in and give them a try to see them in all light. We painted our house a few years back - I chose a lovely green. I have never seen painters paint so fast! I kept asking - will it dry darker? Yes, of course...nope. When my husband got home he was astounded - our neighbor commented, 'you've really stepped out there' I think God could've seen our house from Heaven! So we chose three options - painted a strip and chose our color from that. Trim paint may not be as drastic, but shades of white against a grey background - you'll be able to detect subtle differences.
Thanks so much for being a gracious hostess,

Thanks, Kathy--a great story and a great idea. I'm painting samples of SW Dover White and BM White Dove (when it stops raining).
ReplyDeleteYour dryer catching on fire sure sounds scary. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThrough it all, we thank you for hosting Foodie Friday. I've figured out a way to make great crab cakes and I've shared my ideas.

I hope everyone will be feeling better soon! The dryer catching on fire, just tops it all, doesn't it?? Your herbed butter sure sounds delicious and your dainty sandwiches are so pretty. I think paint is sooo hard to choose. I use a board, paint samples on it, and move it around. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Michael Lee!

Have a great day!
Beautiful food photography! Your thyme butter looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, we just had our kitchen cabinets painted SW Dover White. We REALLY LOVE the color. I actually found the color through Google online, and once we selected it for our cabinets, I heard from several people that they had used the same color in their homes. One person used it as a trim color (interior). We think it's a lovely shade of white.
Thanks for hosting Foodie Fridays and have a great weekend!

Michaele,

Thank you for hosting. I do enjoy the links I find here.
ReplyDeleteThis week I've linked Neptune's Pasta. This quick and simple pasta dish will work with any seafood you happen to have. It makes a few simple ingredients into something truly special.
Not crazy about thyme, but your pictures are GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI know I've been missing from the food and Tablescapes. Been busy writing and getting books online. Hope all is well.
