Better late than never – just wanted to let you know that I bought this book immediately upon reading your review last week and received it three days ago – three wonderful ddays which I have spent immersed in this book whenever chance permits. I feel like I’m traveling in time and space. Jake Tilson put together an adventure and a feast in one book. Thank you, Gayla.

I’ve considered doing a patch of wheat, just for kicks, but I’ve always heard that grinding the wheat is more trouble than its worth. This summer I’m doing a small patch of strawberry corn, and I intend to grind some of it into some cornmeal to make funny colored cornbread. It’s strange that the more natural a grinder looks, the more it costs, so I think I’ll experiment with a coffee grinder I bought for $10 at the grocery store and have it at that. Ooh I cant wait! If only it weren’t so swampy and cool here in winter and everything rots rather than grows except lettuce and carrots and onions =P
I would love to have some wheat pancakes made from my own homegrown wheat flour.
But at least my strawberries have flowered up. I’ll have strawberry pancakes here in a few weeks.

I love the pictures you took with the book, the green gingham is pretty.
Thanks for sharing the book with us and not delaying it any longer. That’s an awesome book and I’ll have to investigate it, perhaps my library would have a copy…
