Est-ce que tu sais si je peux utilizer "orange blossom water" pour un medicament? J'ai entendu que c'est bonne si on est stresse. Quest que tu pense de cela? (Pardonnez mon mauvais francais.)

I can imagine they liked it, it’s been the same at home.<BR/><BR/>J - thank you so much for your kind words. I still keep in mind your gorgeous olive oil and sauternes cake though.<BR/><BR/>Helen - thanx thanx thanx.<BR/><BR/>Julia - I really encourage you to start foodblogging. It’s been such a great experience for me. As for the camera, I own a SLR. These are quite expensive but really worth the buy. Good cameras are Nikon D50 and D70 or like mine, Sony Cybershot DSCF828.<BR/><BR/>Ooishi - la photo c’est chez mon chéri. Au bord de la piscine...<BR/>David - thanx for dropping by. Sadly there was NO leftovers!!! <BR/><BR/>Geneve - orange blossom water isn’t really strong. Its flavour is quite unusual but here it’s really common. I am used to drink a mug of orange blossom water (1tsp) with hot water before going to bed and I love it. Anyway, I think it keeps well.<BR/><BR/>Jen - I think we were in the same situation then. Lots of pistachios and looking for something to use them!<BR/><BR/>Lavender cupcaker (sweet name by the way) - I reckon canned one would work well to because the recipe calls for roasted ones. And I think that canned apricots roast wonderfully.<BR/><BR/>Elodie - fonce, c’est trop bon!<BR/><BR/>Snowy - i’m sure using only olive oil would really add something to the cake and i’m considering doing this the next time i’ll make this cake. The only thing is that you have to look for lightly-flavoured olive oil or it’ll be overpowering.<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>Fanny Merci Laudy et Rosa.

I haven't used orange blossom water before - does it have a strong essence? I saw it at my local market but haven't had a good enough reason to buy it - this recipe might be though! ;) I love apricots and this recipe is a great application for them!
