I'M BACK

Greetings. After an imposed move out of Spencertown, NY and a journey to Nova Scotia (details to come) I have settled in Saugerties, NY along the Esopus Creek. Do I change the name of Cooking on the River to Cooking on the Creek? Maybe so. Fresh start and all of that.

There are actually picnic benches and grilling pits in the Waterfront Park. I could begin some classes there until it gets too cold and windy. That could be fun.

The possibility of holding cooking classes in my home kitchen is gone. I did enjoy doing it but finding a suitable location has been a deterrent. Right now I have to think about what the next steps will be. I am certainly going to continue working on my cookbook that shows you how to use the principles of meditation in the preparation of food. Further work as a personal and private chef in this area: Saugerties/Woodstock/Kingston is a possibility. Reminds me that I need to change the information on my web page. So many details.

Next week I will post some photos from the Saugerties Farm Market as I try to settle in to my new home location...along the creek. I'll be making a Summer Berry Pudding to bring to a gathering in Woodstock. It's one of those super unctuous things and it's the right moment for making it. I'll be gathering strawberries, raspberries and blueberries this week...well from the store.

If you have friends in this area have them join this blog.

Tonight and tomorrow night the Arm of the Sea puppet theater is performing in the park. I've got a great seat from my window. The crickets and frogs have been giving them some audible competition. The puppets and sets are sensational.
