Why we do it

July 16, 2005

Madame Kristi and her kitchen garden.

Beer? Cigarette? Under the shade of the fig tree, El Gouche is truly the host with the most of the garden allotments. I never leave for home without at least three heads of the most delicious lettuce, handfuls of radishes and lots of arm touching.

Terrine du terrain

July 15, 2005

This will be a recipe after the busy party days end. Mille pardons, but I find cooking for 14 and 60 still quite difficult to combine with self-actualisation in other areas of my life, yurt set-up, being a warm friend and hostess, kitchen garden ownership, and going to watch to Tour de France.

Blackberry harvest

July 14, 2005

Je suis arriivé! This is half of the blackberry harvest of just 5 days. We ate the other half while contemplating what we should do with them. Kristi produced some blackberry sauce which we slathered on vanilla ice cream.

In a few minutes we’ll go to the garden and I’ll plant the ginger plants. The meyer lemon cuttings did not make it.
