VALENTINEZ 2016

Building a Greenhouse From Old Windows

    after collecting all the windows we would be using from the local salvage stores, craigslist, and freebees from family's garage, nose put together a set of blueprints on graph paper to see how it would all fit together

next they layed them out sister side-by-side to make sure everything would fit properly

nose built custom frames for the odd collection of old windows

the frame is designed to be anchored to a 10X20 cement foundation that once supported a shed. drilling into the cement was one of the more time consuming tasks, but well worth the stability.

Signs Of Spring:

first duck eggs of the new year

to celebrate the onset of spring a special meal is in order. pictured is a lamb meatloaf poached inside cabbage leaves with a duck-egg and nutmeg hollandaise glaze. recipe taken from an antique cookbook.

New Yearz 2014

Each January, I go to this section of tilden park to take photos and collect giant nettles, which, which dapple these hills.  Not this January...for the past four years I have visited this location in the new year. This photo was taken after one of the driest years on record in California. Usually the land would be covered with milk thistle sprouts and little grasses and wild mustard. this year it was brown.

Valentinez Day, 2013

Happy Valentinez

Creosote Bush

Sonora desert, Tucson, AZ

Lichen-covered rocks

on valentinez day, 2013, i hiked around in the sonora desert, collected a few seeds from creosote and barrel cactus. at dusk we went to the korean market and bought a jackfruit the size of a basketball and gummy bears. the folks i was hanging out with were paleo and hadn't eaten simple sugars in a month. they were bouncing off the walls that night. 

Jackfruit Journey:

Jackfruit tastes like gummy bears and the seeds can  be boiled and eaten.
