Bonfire and a potluck?

And who's to say we can't start with a bonfire and a potluck? It seems all we need is a nice big open field, at least for starters. After a raucous weekend at Bonnaroo (whew, we actually did it) I'm feeling like starting small is a great idea. Not that we could...or should ....ever.... attempt to attain the scale of 'the roo'


The long car ride was aided by the new Kingsolver year of eating locally, check it out...

It truly is everywhere, and I think the time is nigh to jump on the growing local food bandwagon and at least start thinking about how to start, however small. I know the majority of the troupe is otherwise occupied for the 4th but Ned and I have decided to start the first of our quarterly seasonal food fest/feasts- Whatever we can find fresh and ready is on the menu, maybe grillin' a little tomato, corn, summer squash. A sort of mini bacchanalian, solsticesque and perhaps a smidge orgiastic.... at least in spirit.

You are of course all welcome, we figured why not practice now? Community anyone?


Oh and while we're being shameless, here's one for the other team!

Wow- impressed you made it to Bonaroo! We are after all heading up to Shrinemont for the dedication of the Happy Pullman Pavillion on the 4th.
