Focus on the Fruit

-Saturday, we hosted the first "Tastes of the Coulee" food mini-festival at our public market in Viroqua. It was a smashing success and arguably the best single day we've had in the two and a half years the market has been open. A full house of area eateries and fantastic crowd of locals and visitors.

Organic & local.... Hot Pork & Fresh Garlic

macrobiotic Macrobars (made near Viroqua!). I live on these.

I made Bananas Foster in a wok. We poured the gooey mess over Sibby's Organic Ice Cream (scooped and dished out by Sibby, of course). The final step, an open flame of brandy was a hit, but nothing like the combination of flaming sugar and the best ice cream on the planet.

(Voodoo dust, cane, flesh of fruit, oils.... fire)

Cinderella

Music all day and into the night... with world-class jazz right in the market by Bill Neal, Tom Guillion and frickin' Hanah Jon Taylor!

Project Fourth Stream

Saturday late night was at my pad, the future Viroqua Guest House... it was ole revelry and minor excess... there was this second.... I saw of matrix of creative energy that has been surrounding me lately... I saw it self-aware. It was indescribable and intense.

Our music store, Greenman Music, is already jamming, and we aren't even officially open yet.

We are closer and closer to launching our organic ice cream parlor in the market, baring some unforeseen hurdle.

I sold my first photograph from the gallery in the market (not including you LeLo, lol).

A friend and myself search for Ginseng a couple of times. It was another adventure. I just know, the "little (old) man" is there, calling.... that he wants out of the dirt! of course, we filmed the experience for the documentary.

Speaking of which, filming on Viroqua is going well. Nearly each moment we document a particular thread of life.. another synchonistic one emerges in other seemingly unrelated segments. personally i take this as an almost inevitable sign the film will be outstanding... so long as we tell the story of these ethereal fibers.

I'm also working on this epic trilogy about God, love, death, passion, art, motherhood, birth, struggle, history, science, medicine, massacre, apocalypse, barbarians, 2012, and a new age of humanity.

Also writing a screenplay about that intense Xanga romance when I just began blogging (....a few of you from way back will recall)... coauthored by... who else?
