Wow! The launch for the Book of Days was on Tuesday evening. There was food from the recipes, music from a harpist and her guitar playing husband, a whole host of friends and well wishers. And purchasers. The book sold out completely. Okay, okay, not all on Tuesday, I spent Monday and Tuesday offering it to everyone I came into contact with, with great success. I collapsed Wednesday to recover from several months of drawing and three weeks of stitching and gluing. Imagine if you will a whole day of doing only as my whimsey takes me.* Ahhhh.
I did take my camera, but I was so involved with telling people what food came from which recipe and visiting and all, that I didn't remember it till we were packing up. You will have to use your imagination. It is a surprising tool. Just try it. Close your eyes. You are in a low ceiling room, with paintings all around the walls (local artists), there are couches, and many mismatched tables and chairs. The harpist plays medieval music with her husband. There is a counter top and a table full of food dishes. You are invited to dine. Inhale the scent of the clam spaghetti sauce, look at the thick caramel on the top of the fudgey wedgy squares. Have a small taste of the Post Reformation yogurt....chat, laugh, eat well.
