in the kitchen, as usual.

the quote on the chalkboard is a summary of wendell berry's larger quote: "Eaters, that is, must understand that eating takes place inescapably in the world, that it is inescapably an agricultural act, and that how we eat determines, to a considerable extent, how the world is used."

the large squash by selva's head is a cushaw.

jeremiah surprised me with this small (large) gift yesterday.

supposedly it cooks up like any other squash or pumpkin.

i think it will be feeding us for a while.

my staple breakfast is made up of a few, simple ingredients.

old-fashioned oats, local honey, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg (not pictured).

i cook the oats (1/2 cup oats to 1 cup water) on high to medium heat until they are nice and soft.

then i add a spoonful of honey and a little bit of everything else to taste.

yum!
