Hello!
Lughnasadh/Lammas is coming and I'm wondering how everyone celebrates? I Bake sweets/breads and sometimes make wine. This year friends are coming together(be them pagan or not) to dance and play music. To Have a potluck.
My tomatoes are coming in as well as my herbs and eggplant are slowly coming along! I can't wait till my Krims turn dark!! :)
Anyone have any non-alchoholic recipes (teas, spice etc?)they want to share? I posted a boxty recipe in the munchies forum made with the first harvest of potatoes, but they are so good you can eat them all year. (i got it off a website that I lost a while back)

Boxty
1 cup hot unseasoned mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup grated unpeeled raw potatoes
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
Butter or margarine, for frying
In large bowl mix together mashed potatoes and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in eggs and grated potatoes, then the flour, baking powder, salt, caraway seeds and pepper. Blend in milk. Heat 1 tablespoon butter to sizzling in large nonstick skillet. Drop potato mixture, about 2 1/2 tablespoons at a time, into skillet to form pa tties. Flatten slightly. Fry over medium-high heat until crisp and browned, turning once. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding butter to skillet as needed.Serve hot.

Borage wine is made by soaking borage leaves in a wine for 4 hours.

I'm planning on making the entire meal out of raw fruit, very sweet and colourful! I'll have a bowl of whip cream and a chocolate fondue to dip in, I think it'd be wonderful to celebrate the summer with!

Since so many of our sisters and their families have been affected by breast cancer in recent years, let's light a special pink candle on Lammas (August 1st) and send our healing thoughts and wishes worldwide. It's a few moments out of your day and a lovely way to connect with those who need help in overcoming a health crisis.

Many Thanks and Brightest Blessings to All!

We'll be at Pennsic, and since several of our clan are celiac, and some don't drink, rather than concentrate on first wheat into bread or harvest into wine, we take turns cooking for the entire clan each night. It's fun because there are ovo-lacto vegetarians, vegans, celiacs, vegiarians, fowl only omnivores, etc etc etc
