am back at work on alison’s deep dish after (yet another) slow turn out. the women before alison and me have cooked and fed – not just for nourishment, not just in the spirit of caregiving, not just in the sense of obligation or duty but as a gift. a creative, heartfelt gift.

it’s funny how that works, love as a main ingredient in good food. The leaf is perfect for the idea of a nourishing gift. that looks like a mighty tiny silverware set. Howdy!
hey there, laney, you are SO right about love being the main and most special of all special ingredients.
what a great stitched symbol
