After we stopped to pick up some organic peaches at the Blush Lane Orchard stand, we headed to the heritage grist mill just outside Keremeos.
There's a wee gift shop and tea room with a limited menu. We had some amazing iced tea. Now I have learned that an Arnold Palmer is a drink made out of lemonade mixed with iced brewed black tea (usually Orange Pekoe). I think this is what I really like the best. Maybe 3/4 tea and 1/4 lemonade would be about my favorite recipe. I'm going to have to experiment.
I actually ended up buying three books, one on natural dyeing and another on the biography of wheat. I was disappointed there was no flour for sale, but apparently the grinder the owner was using is broken.
It's a pretty little spot, with space for community events.
It's the Blob!
I'd never heard of a zucca melon before, but now I'm intrigued and I really want to grow one. However, it looks like you'd need a lot of space. That melon is about three feet long. It only blooms at night. Hmmm, I think I feel a story coming on.
I wonder if it's related to the zucchini? Or the blob?
