Those of you who know me will know that I love food. I love looking at it, thinking about it, preparing it, eating it, and most of all: sharing it! I think I like it so much because it is a very visceral expression of creative passion. I also strongly believe that culture is created and nourished by sharing food.
In my ‘church’, my rather unusual volunteer position always surrounds the making of food.
I can get particularly excited about creating interesting menus…
And I love even just to look at it, see and observe food. With my friend Damian Lidgard, I created the Halifax Farmers’ Market Calendar for several years.
Luckily, I get to combine my passion for working with metal with the passion for food this coming weekend, when I go to gorgeous Cape Breton Island for Stronger Than Steel, a celebration of Open Hearth Park in Sidney, NS, which is combined with the culmination of an epic island-wide international festival of food all this week, called Right Some Good. Do consider coming out for this cool event Labour Day weekend!
I am very excited to attend this event with one of my daughters, who has always been a foodie.
We are super psyched to be surrounded by other foodies, but also especially pumped to see the amazingly talented nice guy, our former neighbour and dear friend, singer songwriter Jimmy Rankin perform live on his home ground, as part of the free concerts all weekend!
And, happy to say: I will be exhibiting my work at the Artisan Walk during the weekend’s festivities, so if you find yourself anywhere near Cape Breton this weekend, make sure to stop by! It’s not every day that so many Onefooter rings find themselves on the island!
