Hello everyone
Here we are in deep midwinter, battling cold, ice, bad roads, and thriving on our survival in a place where nature still has a say in daily life. People live in Maine for many reasons, but we all seem to cherish, sometimes, with disdain, our struggle with the winters' weather and other challenges..
Martin Luther King Day on Monday celebrates the unity in community. Diversity, in itself diverse according to location and culture, is one of the things that both invigorates and tests our spirits, while simultaneously sparking joy and new connections. Celebrate with a special supper.l.
Stroll the market, mix old favorites with new. Add some watermelon radish to that beet salad. Try some mutton sausage with a hearty bean soup, like pasta e fagioli. Pile mushrooms and goat cheese on a prebaked focaccia, stroke with olive oil and bake for a bit. Oh my.
See you there
Joan
