Music, Food, Art, and Foxhunting
Karen Myers photoI can’t help but notice that this week’s topics constitute a comprehensive and balanced offering. Music, food, art, and foxhunting. What more could any sportsman want from life? Okay, okay, but let’s just leave it this way!
Music:
Listen, then download another of Edwin Hall’s country foxhunting songs. Learn the chorus, and you won’t be able to resist singing along!
Food:
Check out the winners in this year’s hunt breakfast recipe contest. As our judge Juliet Mackay-Smith says, there are so many fine recipes in so many categories that selecting the winners presented her with very hard choices.
Art:
Linda Volrath describes art as a visual language in which the artist attempts to capture a fleeting image along with the mood of the moment and communicate it to the viewer in a permanent way. Foxhunting Life is proud to feature both her oil paintings and the philosophy behind her endeavors.
Chocolate Chip Pound Cake
…a chocolate-lover’s delight! Small poundcakes are wonderful to give as gifts, and the full size cake goes over great at hunt breakfasts!
Tortellini and Meatball Soup
So easy, and YUM with garlic bread!
