Field Trip: Knife & Fork

On Thursdays we’ve been hosting cooking classes taught by Nicole: farmer, friend, and crafter of scrumptious Italian dishes. The kids learned how to make pasta (as in the homemade kind with a pasta machine), ravioli (including how to make ricotta cheese from milk), pizza, lemon almond torte & sugar cookies for Valentine’s day, and [...]

Moments: the singing

The tent was set up, the sleeping bags rolled out. They had eaten macaroni and cheese and sausage. The other campers, of which there were only a few, had turned in, but they kept the fire fed, and they drank their wine as the complexity of a summer night in the Great Smokies [...]

Moments: February Woman
