A couple revelations.

Friday, 10 August 2007

Fresh, raw corn? REALLY FREAKING GOOD! But then I put it into the corn chowder soup I made for dinner, to which I also added some chorizo (among other things), leading to revelation #2: like bacon, but even moreso, adding chorizo to things just makes them better. So delicious, it mostly made up for various frustrating parts of my day.

[edit] The fresh corn is from the CSA share that Em and I have been splitting. I really quite enjoy getting local produce from the farmer who actually grows it, even though the yields vary a bit from week to week, and it takes a bit of work to plan my meals around the random items that we get. I got my first local/organic/free-range meat share two weekends ago so that's another thing to plan around, too. My sources of protein this summer have largely been eggs and cheese (I go through about 8 oz. crumbled goat cheese and a dozen eggs week...) so reintroducing meat into it this week made me feel heavy.

Art classes update: have finished Basics of Interior Design and Kinetic Sculpture, attended a Natural Dyeing workshop, almost finished with Jewelry & Metalsmithing, and have started Beginning Wheelthrowing (pottery) and Batik. Wheelthrowing? IS REALLY HARD. I was sore all over the second day! But during the second lesson I actually threw a pot that was not lopsided! Nevermind that the bottom came off when I took it off the wheel because I made it too thin. That can be fixed, young grasshopper.
