Yesterday, despite the drizzle, a group of fun-loving folks gathered together to make pizzas in the cob oven made by Tim Love up at the Seattle Waldorf School. It was an inspired combination: rain falling just outside the covered shelters, a warm fire, pizza, and great conversation.

Between juggling the baby on my back (thanks to all Grandmas worldwide for help with the hat and mittens!) and making pizza, there was plenty of time to chat. From John I learned a little more about local currencies, why we might want them, and the trust using them entails. It’s a fascinating subject that makes me want to learn more. The cob oven whetted my appetite not only for pizza, but also to get more info about local building materials. The oven itself was a work of art, the result of several days of workshops at the Meadowbrook Farmers Market.

It was also inspiring to see all the homemade toppings folks had brought – sundried home-grown tomatoes, home-made sauce, spinach, olives, fresh parsley, and lots more…yum!
And man, was that good pizza. Thanks, Sustainable NE Seattle, for organizing a great event!
