It’s exam times in Athens, Georgia. Born and raised in Savannah, Georgia as a first generation Vietnamese American. She left home in search to be awesome and to become interior designer. That is my host, Lam taking a break from stress in her amazing room (above). Stepping into the house, I was being brought into a creative incubator where ideas are being brought to life. I am so happy to be able to come to such a space. I do not have too much time for a good photoshoot because I’m having such a blast hanging out with the bunch. Below are some picture of her places:)

CHRISTMAS PRESENT: MARINATED FETA

Posted by on

One of the other perks of having a herb garden, Marinated Feta Cheese! When the season are changing and herb are drying, it time to harvest and make some yummy cheese. I used Lemon zest, Rosemary, Pepper, dried Chili, Pepper and Oregano. The cheese spread on hot toasted bread in the cold winter, Yums! The oil can use for salad or Aglio Olio pasta.

Put a cloth around it and spray your friend’s initial to make it extra special. Taking any herbs and have fun with it.

The first things we did was to go leaf hunting around the neighborhood. All these wonderful flower creations are all credited to Joy. She taught me to appreciate all the beautiful commodity nature has to offer  🙂
