I’d like to learn how to make anything I could possibly want or need from scratch, to learn campfire and hearth cookery, various ethnic cooking methods and dishes. I also want to learn primitive preserving techniques.

I have an artist friend who has done nude drawings of me before, but we’ve both always wanted to do a nude photoshoot. There’s something about posing nude seems like a key step in my relationship with my own body.
Foraging is something I already do, but would like to learn more about. In the past few months I’ve tried to set aside time to learn about, identify and forage wild foods. I’ve gathered a lot of the old standbys: hickory nuts, walnuts, pecans, persimmons, wild onions. I’ve also tried a few new things, like Bradford pears (a little tart, and seedy, but delicious mixed with brown sugar and spread on fried cornbread) and American Beautyberries (a mild, peppery-sweet taste). This spring, my uncle is going to take Jeff and I on a walk through the woods to gather wild salad greens, and I hope to take a few samples to transplant near the house.
