Kids in the Kitchen


Last week was the first kitchen adventures workshop (aka Home Economics Workshop) and I couldn't have been happier with how it went. It was all ladies in the kitchen all week long, and we had so much fun. These kids were ready and willing to try anything. They planned our entire incredibly healthy and delicious meal on the lunch themed day, and were beyond excited to sit down at the Indian feast on our dinner day. I was once again inspired by the infectious love of food and cooking that these kids brought  with them every morning. It's easy to forget what a powerful nurturing and connecting force food is in people's lives. Enjoy some of the pics from our week together. Then, go sit down with some folks you love and share some delicious food! It's good for the soul.

Nice Curves


I am such a car nerd. Show me a nicely formed and shined hunk of metal, gleaming atop four (or sometimes 2) wheels, and I'll most likely drool. I'm not sure exactly where my love of all things on wheels comes from, possibly Steve McQueen in The Great Escape. Visiting the Frist Center last night, I had visions of Al Capone, leaning out the window of some slick art deco ride with a sawed off shotgun, wreaking havoc. I took a few pictures, which was also exciting. It was the first time I'd seen pictures allowed at the Frist, so I went a little crazy. This exhibit, "Sensuous Steel: Art Deco Automobiles" is on display until September 15, so: ready, steady, go!
