It's
July.
And it's hot right now where I am.
Where I live.
Over July 4th, we moved into our new home; so far, we've spent four nights there. I kept wondering how it would feel. To be in a new environment. You never know before going through the change. But I am thrilled: I love the house's open space and garden; Lulu loves to watch the squirrels gather in the garden under the tall
we-cannot-figure-out-the-name-of tree; and soon, I'll be finding my new marks in the newly renovated
kitchen. I need patience until it's done (three months as I am told) and in the meantime, with the bare cooking utensils I am cooking in the old one. Until we move out for the renovation--it's a good thing that I will be spending time in France again in August.
Our summer is one full of transitions.
So far, I've baked
apricot tartlets and
vegetable tarts; I've prepared
tabouli,
salads,
rice and vegetable stews and we've barbecued
fish and
shrimp skewers. Not to forget
raspberry and
strawberry sorbets to refresh us, and
puddings to comfort us--I can never can resist those, no matter the season.
There's also a piece of news that I'd like to share with you.
I'd like to tell you about the
workshop where I will be teaching
two food styling classes during the fall, on
September 16th and
17th. That will happen at
Squam Art Workshops, a
retreat held in a beautiful setting in Rockywold-Deephaven, New Hampshire, by a lake; the event has an emphasis on
visual arts, writing, yoga, theater,
cooking and food styling. I am really excited about participating. Incidentally, today also celebrates the launch of their
journal--you can find more information by following this
link.
So perhaps I will see you at
Squam Art Workshops in September?
