Ankh! Moore rk!

Saturday saw much rain, and a few people for the most part of the day. Rain settled to drizzle and wonderful folks joined to help with the preparations for dinner. Evan was a master of getting the big fire started and helping to get the roasted pig heated up.
I ended up with a one pot meal, in proper viking tradition, of roasted veggie, carrots, leeks, parsnips, onion and cabbage. Oh yes, and all that pork.
Desert was sour cream with berries. We also had some fine natural apple juice and apple-cranberry juice, and flat breads.
While I got many compliments on the food, I confess that Denninger's did the heavy work on the pigs, I can only take credit for having a couple of great helpers who managed to support and make sure we had everything ready and hot on time. Thanks to you all, many times over! Evan, Melissa, Marcia and Liz, thank you again all.
I am f e e l I n g v e r y s l e e py.
Not sure that I will last for the actual Solstice celebration, but then, we all know about me and fire ceremonies.
I did have a fantastic time visiting with the wife of the local fire marshal. They are both First Nation peoples. We had an incredible time talking about creation tales and stories as well as wandering the meadows discussing the plants and their many uses.
