Simple Things

Andrea posted a video on her Cupcakes for Breakfast blog about Alice Waters.  I like Alice Waters too.  I like her simple, sustainable approach to food…and life, I suspect.  A really interesting thought-provoking interview. Reminded me of a couple things.  One, my friend Jeff.  Even after our relationship went kaput, his influence on many of my food choices (and how I stack my fork/knife) remain.  It also reminded me of the summer I worked on a small vegetable and flower farm.  Many warm evenings at dusk, we’d wander out into the fields to pick fresh basil.  I can see the color of the orange sky and smell the earthy basil aroma.

Ahhhhh….

Omg - I used Alice Waters in my last piece of art! Ahhh, I still remember the stories of that farm - and your description of the flowers as they dried!
