an everlasting meal…
garden to table
so, we have had some great athens-related food/book news as of late…
in addition to hugh’s book, former athenian tamar adler also released her first book, an everlasting meal, last week.
{tamar was the founding head chef at farm 255…}
yesterday, on a perfect fall day, a group of us gathered in the country and ate good food and listened to tamar read from her book, under huge oak trees.
some of us played on tractors, too.
’twas a great day on the farm.
woodfire time!
in the country
i’m making a batch of vases for the wood fire. i made some really fancy ones i’m super excited about. lots of birds and flowers. i still have to glaze them. we start loading the kilns today. it’ll take about 9 days to load two wood kilns, then on to the firing! more pics of that soon. it’s so much fun to do a six hour shift of stoking the fire, and listening for the crinkling sound that tells you it’s time to put more wood on the fire.
a sweet animal farm
homes and habitats
our friends kat and susan have the sweetest little farm. they have lived there only a year now but have created this amazing little oasis. they have transformed the field in front of their home into a peaceful place for thier many rescued animals to wander. we had a great day, feeding the animals, walking around with the animals, and hearing all of the farm sounds. we also got to see the baby alpaca that was just one day old! ahhh simple life in the country.
