Delicious! I did use Chicago steak seasoning instead of Montreal (would have to look up what the difference even is). If I could self-criticize one thing, I cut the crostinis too fat and the steak chunks too large (or too cubed? Longer thinner strips might have worked). But otherwise, this was pretty tasty and makes plenty for leftovers or a party!

I love lavender, but the balance here was a little off. I would probably use 1/2-3/4 of the culinary lavender as originally written (the recipe says 1/4 cup!!) to infuse into the milk. It just overpowers the honey too much. Good concept, but needs tweaking. Wouldn’t mind trying it again with that adjustment. Also, I learned that you have to be careful using honey as a garnish on something cold because it seizes up 😂

Although the recipe called these Lebanese, I found this recipe on a list of Syrian recipes, and Syria and Lebanon do share a border, so I’m sure it’s found in both. These were delicious seasoned meat-stuffed pitas with a perfect dip to match. Not fancy, but so easy. I’d totally make them again. I made a very similar dish for Egyptian week called hawawshi that I also enjoyed.

I try to make mostly new recipes, but this one I’ve made before and it was somehow much uglier even though this one is pretty unevenly frosted. I don’t have any aspiration to specialize in cakes so I haven’t ever really sat down with a whole ass tutorial to figure out how to properly decorate 😂

For this week’s theme I just picked a recipe that both would feed cake to my family and conveniently fit the springy, pink vibes that dominated the subreddit that week. (I’m catching up. 😬) I totally forgot to take a cross section picture but it was essentially identical to the picture included when I made it last time.
