carrying a sack of clothing on our heads, scarf wrapped like a gypsy, a plastic bag full of yogurt and sultanas, small hunting dog on a leash and gloves on our hands, because we are always out and it is always cold.
walking along an old dirt road, dust and vineyards, the cold fog of winter overlapping the sunset painting.

We have been overtaken by some sort of bread making fever. And inspired by the recycling stories of Sandor Katz (who wrote my bible, if I felt like I needed a bible, Wild Fermentation), Cloe made this incredible sourdough bread. The main reason that the dough is pink is due to a whole cooked beetroot inside, when the bread cooked it became a more banal looking bread colour, which was a bit disappointing.
Ingredients in the bread included leftover rice pudding (with banana and coconut), sprouted hommous dip, cooked barley, beetroot and wheat flour. Our tiny friends of the micro kind (sourdough culture/yeast) digested all that we feed it and though it deffinately had a complex flavour the bread tasted rather normal really.

I spent six hours making this pie. The base is made with millet, rice flour, lemon juice and salt, the filling is aduki bean, brown rice, hijiki seaweed, miso, ginger, zucchini, fried carrots and onions and topped with a lemony mashed potato.
It was very delicious and the base went crunchy and hard like a biscuit.

i just had a strange experience where i was drawn into a bakery towards a particular fruit pie and discussed its worth for awhile before ordering and eating it. it wasnt very nice at all and just brought disapointment. after i finished it my friend brought the situation into light that i had actually pointed at and purchased the wrong fruit pie and also eaten it without realising that it was the wrong one. after eating it i became less real and by steps upon cobblestones blurred, as if i had split off from my original destiny into another reality...

I baked a hummingbird inspired cake
carefully mixing and cutting and spicing
throwing in musical compositions
and stirring just enough to mix
modest mouse - lives
the last poets - wake up nigger
Mashing two large ripe bananas with two eggs and the juice and rind of a lemon,
crowded house - pineapple-head
half a cup of oil and half cup of sugar.
cocorosie - japan
Sifting well, many times, the flour of three and a half cups, two tablespoons of hazelnut meal and one of walnuts,
beth gibbons - sand river
half a cup of desiccated coconut and the spices of cinnamon and nutmeg.
the shins - kissing the lipless
Layering in the cake mixture and then a full platform of sliced fresh pineapple
clouddead - twenty
and sprinkle of coconut and rest of the batter
the books - ps
