Tiny Homes by Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn's new book, Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter, is out. I've been following Lloyd's Blog for a while now and have been looking forward to getting my hands on this book. For anyone interested in living small this is worthy material.
Makes me a bit nostalgic for my cabin in the woods that served me so well in the earlier part of the century and that in some part led to this full timing life I'm enjoying so much.
Here's a link to Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter at Amazon.com

Sweet, Rich Hickory Milk
Hickory was another favorite. Rambling through the Southeast in the 1770s, the naturalist William Bartram observed Creek families storing a hundred bushels of hickory nuts at a time. "They pound them to pieces, and then cast them into boiling water, which, after passing through fine strainers, preserves the most oily part of the liquid" to make a thick milk, "as sweet as fresh cream, an ingredient in most of their cookery, especially hominy and corncakes." Years ago a friend and I were served hickory milk in rural Georgia by an eccentric backwoods artist named St. EOM who claimed Creek descent. Despite the unsanitary presentation, the milk was ambrosial - fragrantly nutty, delightfully heavy on the tongue, unlike anything I had encountered before.
