something beautiful in the garden

July 26, 2010
Morning dew on the baby lacinato kale

I haven't posted anything in a very long time, but I'm finally home in Oregon and feeling a bit settled after so many months of travel.  The last time I wrote I was in Greece eating wild greens, (that trend continues back here where amaranth leaves have been our wild-green spinach substitute of choice).  After Greece there was a whirlwind road trip through Europe- full of food memories both good and bad. High point: trucker's lunch in France.  Low point: Cold can of ravioli at an Italian gas station.  Desperate times...  After the epic drive it was off to Iraq to start filming for a documentary I'm working on about agriculture in the region: more here So because of all that the garden got started a little late this year... but things are finally starting to sprout and bloom. I took the above photo of my young lacinato Kale the other morning because I love the decorative dew drops lining the leaves. Hopefully I will be able to start eating things very soon...

Welcome back. Just came back from Greece, too. Looking forward to hearing more about your trips. Kostis
