:: garlic braiding ::

i spent today with casey from earthly delights

at her garlic braiding workshop.

i learned how to turn these

into these

i helped casey make some garlicky dishes

for lunch {even a citrus-garlic drink}

it was over 100° here today,

so we had spray bottles of lavender water

to mist ourselves & each other

while we enjoyed delicious food

and learned garlic lore & medicinal properties.

we each chose 13 garlic bulbs

and wrapped them in wet towels

to soften the stems

we cleaned & peeled off the outer layers

then, with casey's guidance,

started braiding

 i loved it so much, i made two

casey teaches all sorts of cool workshops.
