I got sucked into programming this weekend, no time for drawing. Too bad since I had bought some very nice pastel crayons to draw on pebbles. Still, I escaped half an hour here and there. Here are some pictures, hopping from one subject to another in a natural food minded progression.

Saturday’s picking in the vegetable garden

This funky looking vegetable is a summer squash (Trombocino). It taste a little bit like wild hazelnuts and it keeps firm when cooked.

The strange yellow ball is a Lemon cucumber, but it tastes nothing like lemon.

Well, the next image is not from this Saturday’s mushroom picking, I forgot to take a picture, but it was the same family: Hydnum repandum (Hedgehog mushroom). This is one of my favourites. Nicolas cooked it perfectly, as usual!

The result: these very nice entrees for our 14th anniversary.

And now that we are talking seriously (mushroom), here is a beautiful print that we received a couple of years ago:

Fairy Ring, Amy Ross

It reigns in our kitchen and we are always happy (and a little hungry) when we look at it.
