CSA Week 1: A mountain of greens

June 10, 2008

Today was our first CSA delivery of the season from Local Roots Farm.

June 9, 2008

Have I mentioned before that I wish I liked radishes? Oh, I guess I have. They come in such beautiful colors and shapes that I can’t stop photographing them, but I just haven’t developed a taste for that radishy sharpness. Any suggestions?

Sasha, in particular, likes to sleep atop the back of the chair, his body curving to fit the space between upholstered frame and attached cushion. Except that he doesn’t quite fit on [...]

At the film festival

June 5, 2008

Last night, Paul and I saw a world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF). While there was no red carpet, we did stand in a line that snaked around the block, we said hello to three of the film’s stars as they walked past, and we hung around after the screening for a [...]
