Bonjour, c'est le week-end! 
How has your Summer been? I have spent the last few weeks seeing lovely images and stories of people on their holidays, whether traveling abroad or discovering parts of their own country/city. I will soon get to do the same when we head to France for a family event and a few days of our own to explore and relax.
I haven't just been marvelling at other people's holidays of course, I also took the time to take note of some interesting things here and there so I could share them with you. Have a lovely weekend!
​
- Something interesting: I have tried camembert ice cream many years ago and it was alright but I am not sure how I feel about cheese tea.

- Something delicious: I have already made this tomato salad with grilled cheese croutons (minus the basil) twice and it is really delicious.

- Something else delicious: speaking about salads, the pear and Serrano ham one I shared three years ago is perfect this season and already on my menu list for the weekend.

- Something to watch: the short film AMA by Julie Gautier shot in the deepest swimming pool in the world, stunning and mesmerising.

- Something else to watch: this cinematic proposal video, so beautifully shot.

- Something to read: I have really enjoyed reading the graphic novel The Arab of the Future 1 and 2 by Riad Sattouf over the past two years and I look forward to getting the third one on my next trip to France. The book talks about the author's childhood in the Middle East and it is very interesting both visually and for the life story itself.

Apricot and tonka iced green tea

Apricot & Tonka Iced Green Tea Recipe
​You say Summer, heat and sunshine and I say iced tea.
This is the one refreshing drink I really enjoy having when the weather is hot. And water of course, but that really just makes sense, right?
I love it unsweetened. Just plain cold brew tea served in a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes and a few slices of lemon. The perfect Summer thirst-quenching drink in my book.
I am also partial to a sweet version when it is nicely made and not full of artificial flavours.

Poached apricots with tonka bean

Poached Apricots and Tonka Recipe
Six years ago to this day, I pressed 'publish' on my very first blog post. And for the occasion I also shared a recipe for apricot halves with crumble.
At the time, I viewed Creme de Citron as only a food blog and as the years went by, it evolved into something that is not just limited to food. In a way, it grew to match more the way things evolved for me over the years and ongoing: delicious food yes, but also travels to beautiful and interesting places, and putting value in worthwhile things for a nicer way of life. 
Everyday, I am so thankful to all of you reading this blog. When I sit down at my desk to write those posts, I always think about you: the people who will read what I have to say and hopefully try some of my recipes, maybe even share them as a meal with friends and family, daydream at the travels I talk about and possibly take a few notes for a planned trip or a future holiday, enjoy breakfast or brunch time with some of the It's Saturday! links I collect for you, and perhaps attempt some of the lifestyle tips I give you.
To all of you, I say a huge MERCI for reading!

I could not just say thank you and not share something nice to go along with this note of course!
