the blues

yesterday i took another workshop via nido in burlington,

this time an indigo and shibori workshop with ali of salt and still.

images and stories of the marches all over the world

on saturday and then messing about in indigo vats

with lovely women on sunday...

there is much courage, conviction and beauty

in the world.

we will find our way through this insanity.

cranberry orange bread

Sift together:

2 cups sifted flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

Mix in thoroughly:

2 Tbs shortening (I use butter)

grated rind and juice of one orange plus fresh or frozen orange juice to make 3/4 cup

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans)

Fold in 1 cup cranberries, cut in half

Bake in 350 degree oven for one hour.

Recipe from my best friend's Mom, Dot. Who I still miss after all these years.

This is especially yummy toasted, with a smidge of cream cheese.
