the farm

Hi friends,

I got back to New York from the farm on Sunday and as soon as Jenny and I left, it felt far more like a dream. I still vividly remember walking into Megan's bright kitchen, smelling roasting eggplant and Megan's amazing garlic-y hummus. And then all of the sudden being swarmed by a flurry of arms, voices, faces of Carmella, Destry, Rachel, Megan, and Rose. I've earmarked those ten minutes as one of my top five moments of all time. We spent all day lounging around and then cooked dinner for hours. We made a beet salad, tomato and basil salad, and shish kebabs using branches of rosemary, herbs and veggies from the farm, and lamb from a farm down the road. After dinner, we ate a delicious blackberry pie with blackberries picked from around Hampshire and Jenny and Rosie made the fantastic crust (no coffee grounds included) and whipped cream. After being stuffed out of our minds, we finally had Rachel's huge bed party and snuggled in sleeping bags. On Sunday, we made French toast and Megan filled our bags with goodies from the farm including bouquets of flowers and incredible veggies which Jenny and I cooked yesterday! What more could you want from a weekend?

Anybody have other thoughts, fav. moments? Picture post coming soon.
