Adventures in Gardening






This morning was spent planting! Included in these pics is my burgeoning greenroom, which will house my seedlings once they are ready to be transplanted. I have to say, I have been amazed by the whole seed to seedling process -- so fun!









Salut!

For several years friends and family have encouraged me to share my passion for food and wine. So here it is: Simply Synaesthesia.

Strange name, right!?! Synaesthesia is a confusion of the senses, which best describes what happens to me when I am preparing a meal. Sight becomes taste, and sound inspires smell with touch bringing it all together. Food and drink are sensual experiences for me. 

Gardening is equally satisfying, yet it is not always as successful. This year, for the first time, I am growing herbs and vegetables that will travel straight from the garden to my kitchen. I hope this will increase both the flavor and the creativity of my gastronomic adventures!
