A Journey into Thought & Spirit

Edible Flower Cashew Cheese + Charcuterie Board

8/24/2020

Besides friends and family, I think there is nothing that I love more than flowers. As the summer ends, I wanted to celebrate the beauty of the flowers as I was enchanted by the local wildflowers that bloom seasonally in town. There is something so precious about wildflowers, especially wildflower season in the mountains.

I found this 1980's flower dress that is so vibrant and beautiful it reminded me of the wildflowers. It inspired me to do a bit of foraging.  In nature and in fashion, it was a celebration of wildflowers of all colors, pink, purple, yellow and white. 

Inspired by the flowers, I wanted to do something unique and beautiful with edible flowers. It seemed only natural to do a charcuterie board filled with cashew cheese and locally grown figs. For a moment, it's like feasting within the garden of eden.

There are many lessons in the world of wildflowers. Some of us have a wild child spirit and bloom where we are planted, and other lessons are inspired by beauty. I've never once heard someone say anything negative about flowers. They are delicate and their beauty is inspirational even for some of the most world-renowned artists, like Monet. 

"
I must have flowers, always and always."
Claude Monet

"Like wildflowers; you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would."
-E.V.

Flowers are not only nature's beauty designed from our Creator, but it is an art piece of nature. The color. The shapes. The patterns. Flowers are symbolic in so many ways and even represent many underlining symbols in fine art, especially within religious art. When a flower is white it represents purity, or when its red in some ancient Christian  paintings, it represents the sacrifice or blood of Christ. 

Regardless, flowers make people happy and it brings light and love into one's home.

"Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the mind."
Luther Burbank

"One of the most attractive things about flowers is their beautiful reserve."
Henry David Thoreau

Edible flowers are perfect toppings for dips and salads. You can find them at local farmer's markets in the summer, or packaged in various grocery stores in the refrigerated spice aisle. 

I follow my former blog post, "nut cheese" template to create various nut cheeses. For this, I omitted the garlic clove because I wanted to combine the nut cheese with sweeter foods. However, feel free to add in the garlic. You can also 'manipulate' the recipe by making an almond or macadamia nut cheese. 

Edible flowers have a bit of spiciness to them and so I did not want an overly "spicy" cheese between the garlic and the flowers. 

With this quantity of the recipe, I made two wheels of cheese. You can make one large wheel, or reduce the recipe to make a wheel the size of what you see on the board.

Making a charcuterie board is an adventure in itself. You can add any sides that you would like that is sweet and savory. Vegetables like carrots or tomatoes compliment the cheese that is like a spread or dip. Raisins or jam also go well with the cheese on top of dark rye bread or crackers.

The sweeter side include some dates, chocolate and figs, which is basically nature's candy. You can choose anything you'd like! Enjoy the last bit of summer!

Edible Flower Cashew Cheese + Charcuterie Board
Prep  Time: 20-30 minutes
Wait Time: Several Hours

Ingredients: 
2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 2-4 hours
1/4 cup lemon juice
2.5 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp nutritional yeast
optional 1-2 garlic cloves
2-3 tbsp water

Directions:
Put all of the ingredients into a food processor with the exceptions of the water. Blend and puree as much as possible, and add 1 tablespoon of water at a time. Scrape the sides down of the food processor with a spatula and continue this process until you get the texture that you like. Less powerful blenders may require 2-3 tbsp water. 

Once complete, pour the nut cheese onto a sheet of parchment paper into two sections. Use the spatula and/or your hand or a bread knife to help form a wheel and smooth out the top. When ready, insert the flowers by pressing the stems into the cheese. Alternatively, you can cut the stems  and insert the flowers, or remove the petals and arrange them into patterns on the cheese. 

​Once done, place in an airtight container without smashing the wheel with the lid or parchment paper and chilling the fridge for several hours.

I want Coder Cyber Services to know how appreciative I am, a trustworthy hacker who accompanied me in getting back the USD 105,000 I had lost to online fraudulent perpetrators. I came across this investment platform online and made the decision to invest $105,000 in it with the hope that it would increase in value. Despite making a variety of attempts to contact the platform because their contact information was no longer available, I was never able to get my money back, neither capital nor profit. To great online evaluations, I learned about Coder Cyber Services, and I contacted them right away. With the use of their cutting-edge hacking technology, Coder Cyber Services assisted in recovering my lost USD105,000. In view of the fact that I can't express my appreciation to Coder Cyber Services abundantly, I will only be able to leave them an excellent evaluation. Anyone with similar problems should contact them via: Codercyberservices@execs.com or +1 (403) 407-3407.

HOW I GOT BACK MY STOLEN BITCOIN FUNDS AFTER A FAILED INVESTMENT.

Hello everyone, I’m Bobby Felix from Oakland, California.
A month ago, I invested $204,000 worth of bitcoins into an investment account through their website stockfxtrade.net/
When it was time to withdraw my profits which were at that time $719,000, their website crashed and logged me out, I sent countless emails and messages to them and the investment company became unresponsive. Realizing that I have been scammed of my money, I began to seek several means to get back my funds, I went to the authorities but they couldn’t trace or locate this company. At some point, I began to give up on the hope of ever getting back my funds until a colleague of mine told me about ASTRAWEB CYBER, a cryptocurrency recovery company that has been helping many others like me to get back their funds, I hurriedly contacted them and provided all the necessary information, and with the information I provided, ASTRAWEB CYBER was able to recover my $204,000 worth of bitcoins in 48 hours. Their service is truly magnificent and I gladly commend their efforts.
I never would have imagined I could get back my funds and I’m grateful to ASTRAWEB CYBER for their help.

Reach them via E-Mail: ASTRAWEB@CYBERDUDE. COM

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR ALL YOUR BITCOIN, CRYPTO, AND DIGITAL CURRENCY RECOVERY.

Good luck.

I have always thought it would be impossible to recover stolen cryptocurrency funds until I came across SpyWall recovery team, this cryptocurrency recovery team was able to successfully recover my stolen Bitcoin and Ethereum funds.
I was one of the many victims of a crypto scam and I lost my entire family savings trying to double it.
It was a very difficult time for me and my family, I was depressed and gave up hope of ever getting my money back. A few weeks ago, I came across a post while searching for clues on Google on how to recover my cryptocurrency, I saw a recommendation about SpyWall and how they were able to effectively recover cryptocurrency funds for many scam victims. I didn’t hesitate to contact them and provide them with all the information, SpyWall was able to recover my funds within two days. I’m truly grateful for their service and I promised them I would recommend them to others like me.
You can easily reach them via

I was in total dismay when I lost my entire savings investing in cryptocurrency, I was contacted online by a lady through email pretending to be an account manager of a bank, who told me I could make double my savings through cryptocurrency investment, I never imagined it would be a scam and I was going to lose everything. It went on for weeks until I realized that I have been scammed. All hope was lost, I was devastated and broke, fortunately for me, I came across an article on my local bulletin about Elite Wizard Bitcoin Recovery, I contacted them and provided all the information regarding my case, I was amazed at how quickly they recovered my cryptocurrency funds and was able to trace down those scammers. I’m truly grateful for their service and I recommend them to everyone who needs to recover their funds urge you to contact them if you have lost your bitcoin USDT or ETH through bitcoin investment
