1 + 1 + 1

The first 1 + 1 + 1 event was held last night at my house with some very good friends in attendance. The invitation read as follows --
To celebrate us all being alive and existing at the same time, I invite you to my house for dinner on Tuesday. You are welcome to arrive anytime after 3pm, we will be preparing the dinner together. Please bring 1 fruit + 1 veg + 1 something.

We cut, sliced, chopped, grated, ground, fried, smashed, blended,and mixed together creating an amazing array of interesting dishes that wouldn't have been possible without the input of everyone. It was a organic process of following a line of thought- response to an ingredient and a ongoing unpredictable collaboration in the present moment.

thankyou to Antonia for writing some of the little recipes down on a piece of paper while the conversation meandered towards bedtime. We ate more things and drank Salep with walnut milk and honey, it was delicious. The dishes were done, the compost taken out and the lights switched off.
