Gabe and Julianna at Pigeon Lake on our way to Arnold's. It was plus one billion degrees the second time we drove out to Arnold's, so we stopped for a quick toe-dip in the lake.

Piggies like feet.

At Irvings'

This was only our second farm trip (remember when it was warm).
We saw lots of little piggies.

you will not find this in the cookbook.

...as delicious as it is. g.w

(we all resisted it but somehow the name just stuck)

This was the beginning of the project, the absolute beginning. When I first sent this I was so nervous, I really didn't know Julianna yet, and in retrospect, I don't remember what spurred me on. Either way, it took a few breaths before I pushed "send". Anyways, I'm so glad I did it, and this has been one of the best projects I have ever worked on. g.w

White Bean Soup with Croutons

Today I drove out to Sparrow's Nest Organic Farm. I have not felt satisfied in leaving the, 'touring Alberta farms' section for project:cookbook behind. I may not have been the best farmer in an ill-prepared outfit of old shoes & a hoodie, but my heart was in it & they needed a hand. Truthfully I was a little glad to be indoors bagging up the freshly pulled carrots while Graham harvested the last few rows under an inch or two of snow in the field.

For snack we had black coffee & ginger snaps, for lunch the heartiest hand warming vegetable bean soup ever.

1. The rolling, grassy plains of the prairies only get prettier when they start to die.
2. Farmer's are the heartiest people on the planet.
3. Skating rinks are made for hockey, not for driving your Mazda (aka Rachel Ray) on.
