Comment [1]
I made up a recipe this morning.
At the Orleans farmer’s market yesterday I bought a pint of wild blackberries. Another customer asked the man (from Terra Luna) where he got them and he responded with a general region and sneaky smile. “I can’t give you specifics,” he said.
I love berries. I wanted to introduce these to something else I love: crepes. My crepe love started in college when Rachel and I would...

I spend many of my days lately laying my head down in Portsmouth, NH. It’s a not unfamiliar place, and very welcoming. This past weekend, with the Hunter in Alaska, I stayed up here with the dog and made my first pilgrimage to the city farmer’s market.
It was breathtaking. It was a smile-a-minute. It was glorious. It was summertime.

A: They are all recent players in my “getting to know your food” trials.
I picked close to 15 pounds of strawberries the weekend that Tony Andrews Farm opened. It’s roughly 3 minutes from home and the plants were loaded with beautiful, brilliant red berries. I picked and picked and picked until my knees and thighs said “no more!” But then I picked...

Festival Season & PRN
24 June, 11:15 AM
The Telluride Bluegrass Festival was last weekend. It’s one of those “I’ll get there one day” events I fawn over from afar every year. When I imagine jobs I might try I think I could handle being a teacher solely because it would allow me to pack up and go to TBF —> NWSS every year.
So I figured it was time to talk music again because there’s lots of new...
