on that path

Our new home! We've downsized quite a bit from my house in Whitehorse, but this 28-foot trailer it's keeping the rain off us, keeps us warm, and we can cook and read books quite comfortably. Besides, there is plenty of "common space" here in the community, and Fergus is quite happy in the "Tag 2" commonroom, where we eat communally. He even started walking there! He loves being around the other kids, and of course, the sheep.

This week, Chris and I are cooking for the 10 or so people here for the week. The usual cook, Marisa, has gone with her family to Toronto to visit a sick relative, and we agreed to fill in, as neither of us are working as yet and can afford the time.

For today's lunch I'm "going local" with a potato and fennel soup, Lemon-scented Quinoa Salad with our own scarlet runner beans thrown in, and tahini dressing. Chris is on dinner duty, with a leg pork roast (or "Thelma" as the resident six-year-old informed me one evening over dinner). We'll harvest veggies from the garden this afternoon to accompany Thelma.
