I’ve got pies and tarts on my substack…each one an old, authentic, traditional recipe but so modern. Spinach frangipane, pumpkin, apple flognarde, poires à la Bourdaloue.

All my foodie friends here…would you mind posting a photo of your thanksgiving day table setting with your turkey and sides? Would love to see how others do this special day. Every cook has their own unique presentations and customs and I’d love to see them!

"How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs."
-Robert Frost, from "Putting in the Seed"

"RAINY DAY IN CAMP

Smoke, fire,
a cup of hot coffee
when you’re cold, or dead tired,
battle weary, homesick –
makes the burden lighter.

But at
night you dream you bite a
loaf filled with needles that
you swallow. You fight a
day at a time – gnawed at."

Doing a little research for a post and now know to take rhubarb in case of:

"naughtie humours" and "floppings out of the conduits".

"THE HARVESTERS

In August harvest, in the heat of the day
shade was scarce. We shared our rye bread and drank beer
flavoured with herb gruit. We savoured the way
a pottage of carrots and turnips appeared
a feast with salted meat or herring. We lay ..."

I find it hard to imagine The Harvesters was painted four-hundred-and-sixty years ago! It still teems with life.

New poem up!

"Imbued with sweetness – red
passionflower. The hummingbird
rests, and listens. Humming overheard,
imbued with sweetness. Red .."

hummingbirds do like to sup on red passionflowers. And red passionflowers do bear a fruit, with apparently a grape-like bland taste
