FORAGE

Went to visit some friends at Tweefontein Herb Farm yesterday for a mushroom hunting hike. While we came up empty handed on the morels we did bask in the morning sun on the front porch & take a nice hike. At home I found a huge patch of fiddleheads & stinging nettle in the forest. I cooked up the fiddleheads for dinner with butter and garlic, over brown rice pasta. The were delicious-and still about two more weeks of foraging for them as well!

We picked up fresh eggs from the farm-been really into hard boiled lately.
Snack from the other day & toasted sesames in my favorite stoneware dish.

Spent the past two days weeding & tilling & building.
Feeling good about it...

BROWN ROAD

We took care of the farm this weekend while my boss was away. 

Fed & watered the animals & drank coffee in the sunshine by the lake.

My favorite tiny dream cabin up the road form the farm.

Sits on a stream next to a colonial era bridge.

THURSDAY

Went home over the weekend & had acupuncture treatment-

Po Chai from Dad, good for a lot of things.

Kelsey sent me the best smelling & looking late birthday present.

Especially liked the saffron soap & beautiful map letter.

Lunch today: Fried egg, baby romaine & pancetta, toast with cheddar

TUESDAY

Home sick, but able to do a bit of cleaning around the house.

The last of the kimchi & a fried egg over brown rice for lunch.
