Savor the Flavor

We had Green Curry a few days ago.  Curry is such a delightful blend of savory / sweet spices and heat - sometimes a lot of heat.  It seems that you can use almost any vegetable with any meat and serve it over rice.  It's all in the spices.   Chutney is great with curry - sweet with heat lights up your taste buds, but we have found that whole cranberry sauce with just a touch of allspice is perfect with hot curry. We serve the whole cranberry sauce with a copper honeysuckle spoon.  You can find a Honeysuckle Spoon of your own in our online shop....

Firebrand Collection

Firebrand Collection

My Favorite Hammer

Some of you may have seen pictures of my beautiful chasing hammer over the years.  I call it Princess and have used it nearly every day for 6 years and it developed a crack in the handle.  I was horrified. If you have seen our website or social media over the years you may have seen my beautiful hammer handle.  It is Osage Orange - sometimes called Bodark.  It is extremely hard - so hard that when a fence post is set, it is usually set green because the staples won't go in. My new handle is as beautiful as the old...
