A Lot of Primo

I spent a good amount of time taking pictures today. Ben wanted some more pictures of the gardens at Primo, so I walked around for a little while. Of course I had to visit the pigs:

This is a picture of a bunch of lettuces. I don't remember all the different kinds, but some are red, some are green, some are yellow...



All the garlic that we picked and cleaned is now hanging under the porch of the restaurant. It looks a lot cooler in person:


They have some really funky looking peppers growing here. I have no idea what type they are, but they look really neat:

Then I spent about two hours taking pictures in the kitchen during service. I didn't get a lot of people pictures, but I did get a ton of food pictures. I can't remember what each dish is, so just imagine...


Elle doing an espresso float for dessert. This is so freaking tasty.


Chef Melissa Kelly seasoning some meat:


Oh my god, I so regretted not eating dinner before taking these pictures!









Some cool flareups:



That's it for now. I'm going to be going back into the kitchen on a busier night to get some cool action shots. Maybe tomorrow night!

Of Garlic and Pigs

The gardens at Primo are beautiful. I worked for about four hours today weeding and watering and planting. The garlic is almost ready to be harvested, and there are a bunch of little white blossoms all over. We opened up a blossom to taste it, and it's incredibly garlicky and spicy.


I've fallen in love with the pigs here at Primo. Yes, they smell funky and they snort a lot, but they're incredibly cute if you watch them for a while. They rest in a big mud puddle they've created under the shade for most of the day, because it's so hot. But in the early evening they come out and stick their snouts into every piece of earth they come across. Here are some pictures:

This little porker was trying to get into the big plastic tub of water to cool off. It took him a few tries before those hind legs made it into the tub with the rest of him.

...but he was so much cooler than the rest of the piggies.

The First Week!

Sorry to take so long in getting pictures up... Here are a few from the first week of our trip. It's hard to upload a lot of data because of the wireless connection we're using, but I'll work on getting larger images up for the next post. I realize these are pretty tiny.

We saw a really pretty creek when we stopped along Route 2 in western MA.

There were two groups of ducklings at the cottage on Seneca Lake. They were so adorable!

More baby ducks with momma duck.

And what would the 4th of July be without awesome fireworks?

Coming soon...

I'll be posting my photography here just as soon as I get my USB cable. I forgot to bring it with me so all the pictures I've taken so far have to stay stored on my camera. I promise, in a few days, there will be some photos here! (I don't promise that they'll all be awesome though...)
