B and I attended our first Axis Supper Club dinner on Monday night. It was at Park Kitchen, which is normally closed on Mondays. It was a great meal:
Dungeness crab, blood orange, and mint salad with red lettuces
Black bread soup

Red wine roasted apples with sweet polenta
Cheeses

I am trying to make a dress that is contructed entirely of labels for a show at the Helen Pitt this coming spring." [a request from caterina]
