Inadvertantly made some tie-dye from a batch of overactive beet kvass. #fermentyourfood #brew #kvass

I don't really pine for a corner office, but this is one I can get behind. #MtTremper #upstate #newyork #corneroffice

@shorelodge is place that is deeply colored in my mind by childhood memories. It's what I imagine an old Swedish ski lodge would look like. Massive log stairways and big fireplaces with comfy chairs to sit and read. We never stayed here but I remember wandering the halls after the occasional dinner and looking through the big windows out over the marina and across the lake. #mccall #idaho #payettelake #mountains #lake #lodge (at Payette Lake)

Earlier this year we took a trip to Tennessee and met up with the very talented Amy Potter of @amypotterceramics . She welcomed us into her studio and walked us through the process of making a fermenting crock. Head over to the site to watch our feature on her and learn a kickin' sour beets recipe. http://www.filterandfunnel.com/posts/amy-potter #pottery #ceramics #art #craft #fermenting #Tennessee #wheelthrown #handmade #sourbeets

In case you missed it last week, here's the video from our latest feature on Jess Markt. You can find the whole article herehttp://www.filterandfunnel.com/posts/jess-markt.

My Grandpa was born here in the mountains of North East Tennessee. When he and my Grandma married, they packed up and moved to Southern California. He found work as carpenter for the movie studios and they raised a family. I always remember him working out back, in their little yard, taking care of his trees. Oh, those plums and avocados. He would often sing hymns as he worked, usually it was Amazing Grace. I know he missed those Tennessee mountains, and although he would visit, they never did move back. Call me sentimental, but standing there was very special, and it was easy to imagine the sound of Amazing Grace drifting up from the fields below. #family

Here's an alternative view of the falls from yesterday. There's a momentum created by water flowing over a ledge that kind of wants to take you with it. Yikes! #arkansas #ozarks #waterfall #roadtrip #hiking #travel
