Marya, this is the picture I was telling you about. The travelling minstrel took a photo somewhere in the BC rainforest, turned it on its side, added its mirror image, and voila this little guy makes me want to sit and contemplate the nature spirits. I see many things in this picture at various times -- a totem pole leading into the meditator’s heaven, a cute canine, a Victorian lady. I could look at this picture a lot. And do, as it’s in my livingroom (see below), where you can often spot an empty Boh bottle. God that’s good beer, if I say so myself.

I dug through my trusty old cookbooks till I found one for whole wheat pasta. Will try that today, with the machine I bought this summer.

Blue sky today, it’s been a while since we had one of these. Must get out in it.

xoxo
