Perhaps that's why I love Jane Austen so much...or Tolstoy...or even Stegner. <br /><br />Starr, great tips! If I ever make it there I'll take your advice. <br /><br />Becky, a cheese wedding cake? Now that's passion.<br /><br />Danyelle, you were so sweet to drive all that way just to hang out under the shade. Loved it!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668666249393993201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-90567004513307739652011-08-16T15:31:07.473-07:002011-08-16T15:31:07.473-07:00It really was a lovely afternoon.

I met a cheese maker once who said he always looks forward to going to work in the morning- he even had a cheese wedge wedding cake. Loved his zeal!Becky at VintageMixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285281586011366931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-23908123396005786262011-08-16T13:01:47.301-07:002011-08-16T13:01:47.301-07:00I'm tiny bit jealous that you got to spend the...I'm tiny bit jealous that you got to spend the day on a dairy farm with inspiring people. Ironically enough, I've been looking online lately, trying to convince myself to make some butter out of cream (instead of making creme Chantilly & eating it).<br /><br />If you ever want to try something really different, take a drive to Eastern Washington attend the lentil festival in the Palouse (Pullman/Moscow area). Try out the ice cream. . . then go to WSU's ice cream shop (Ferdinand's). If you are lucky, you'll time things right to watch either the ice cream or the cheese being made. -- As a newly wed I had lentil fields out my kitchen window & a job at the WSU Creamery's direct marketing operation.Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786991087520864962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-42921511263732023172011-08-16T09:36:52.365-07:002011-08-16T09:36:52.365-07:00I absolutely agree - getting out of the normal rou...I absolutely agree - getting out of the normal routine is key to being inspired. Talking to people or learning about people who live lives completely different from my own. I like reading books set in a different time or in a different place, watching documentaries that allow me to learn, and of course traveling and experiencing things first hand is the best.
