so close we can taste it!
while i've been busy with work the last couple of weeks, dan has been using every spare moment to work on the oven. saturday, which was forecast to be rainy, cold, and gray, saw him on the patio at least 12 hours. the sun was out most of the day, and only a couple of times did a threatening rain cloud go over... but never spilled a drop of rain. who-hoo!! the curing is complete, the dome is insulated, the shed around it is complete [except for shingling the roof and putting the front wall on (it got dark, ok?), and the someday job of stucco-ing or putting brick or tile on the walls], and cooking begins tomorrow! first guinea pigs are the folks from our house church. i get to start the fire around 4 in the afternoon. ingredients are assembled. dough is started (see recipe of 20 april). mouths are watering.
here's a photo journal from the last two weeks:

NICE!!! I can hardly wait to sample the products that you produce from this oven! I just am glad that I am not in your house church if they are the first to be roasted.... errrrrrr.... did you mean something else when you said they are guinea pigs? Great job Dan! Great pics Carrie!
Love you both!

oh i am so excited about tonight that i'm eating a Very Light Lunch to get ready.
and i made some fromage blanc (from grassfields farm) with fresh chives (from trillium haven farm) and all is right with the world because we are going to make pizza the way the Good Lord intended tonight.
