Keep Me Warm














Fashion historian and private collector Ivan Sayers (Museum of Vancouver) gave a lecture and fashion show last night at the arts centre. Some wonderful garments from the mid 1880's to the 1980's.
The red marle dress was hand-knit in the '40's.

Borscht - Barszcz (with Roasted Beets)







for Saturday night.

Anne roasted these globed wonders, brought them over and we assembled the soup here (added onions, garlic, herbs, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and stock).

!

What a difference the roasting makes to the flavour and texture! Really gorgeous. Thanks, Anne. When time permits this is my method from here on in.
