The dust is settling. Today the workshop was seriously put through its paces. While I ran through starch permutations and made pasta, Aki puttered in the front kitchen. Everything is finally in working order and we ended up with an impromptu celebration. We were going to make pizza for the tree guys yesterday, but they finished work early and decided not to wait around. So we saved the dough for tonight. When we gathered at the table, we realized we had something special. Pizza (cooked on fire bricks) for dinner and a Butterfinger topped banana cream pie for dessert. Double pie, what could be better than that?
