plodding along.....

All this, and I'm still not through making pots for COSP.

Fall means beautiful leaves, clear blue skies......and soup! I bought groceries specifically for making Italian soup last night, and started a big batch before I ate breakfast this morning. I can't think of anything more fortifying than a big bowl of soup made with homemade stock, string beans, kidney beans, corn, cabbage, ground beef, garlic, onions, celery, carrots, tomatoes, and pasta. That said, this is still pizza night :-) the soup will wait until tomorrow.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Thomas Jefferson 1802

A community is the mental and spiritual condition of knowing that the place is shared, and that the people who share the place define and limit the possibilities of each other's lives. It is the knowledge that people have of each other, their concern for each other, their trust in each other, the freedom with which they come and go among themselves.

To reclaim control over one’s food, to take it back from industry and science, is no small thing; indeed, in our time cooking from scratch and growing any of your own food qualify as subversive acts.

".... And we will mature, and some element will become visible in our work that comes from our innermost experience in life, something that no techniques, nor any amount of historical training or courses in 'design' could ever foster, something that is our own, and unique. For if a thing is conceived in the depths of our being, we will find a way to express it: it may be crude and unskillful, but it will be honest and intelligible."
Marguerite Wildenhain
