At noon

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

For lunch: rice with basil; arugula; boiled beets with salt and olive oil; tomato sauce with butter.

One of the cats killed this bird in the morning. I think it’s a baby chicken, which would mean it’s probably from one of the neighbors down the street.

Kate pulled the garlic up today. Perhaps I’ll make some garlic soup?

The hops are getting larger every day.

Lunch at the Letterpress Fair

Monday, August 10th, 2009

booth

Well, the little lunch booth at the letterpress fair went very well. I think the sandwiches were pretty popular, people seemed to really like them. The ham and cheddar and also the garbanzo and tomato were popular, but I didn’t sell a single nut butter and jelly. The sign simply read ‘peanut butter and jelly’. The descriptions were all made last minute and were very simply. Originally the ham sandwich was listed as ‘ham and cheese,’ but then Kate changed it to read, ’smoked ham with cheddar,’ at which point it began to sell better. I’m not really good at thinking about the public image and the marketing and all that.

My sister just got back from Malawi. This is one of the photos she sent me of a decidedly non HAACP compliant shop.
