inspiration: home sweet home: kitchen

My last trip home was an experience that drew from within me a sort of reverence for not-so-city life (in addition to the myriad of personal revelations). Time spent away from the city was refreshing. And though I'm entertaining the idea of moving into the city of Minneapolis I am wary of urban dwelling. The introverted side of me begs and pleads to abandon society and to adopt myself into a hermit lifestyle in a cabin far, far from anyone else. 

Anyways. I've been finding inspiration for my future home, city or country, on Tumblr and Pinterest. Sadly, I don't know the actual sources so if you do please tell me and I'll be sure to cite them immediately!

kitchen:

I'm entertaining the idea of using my home (and especially my kitchen) as a place to serve people. Dinner is an open door policy in my heart and what if every night friends and strangers alike could come together to dine? Imitating the service of fellowship that we share when we Sunerchomai isn't entirely out of the question either.

“Come, everyone who thirsts,come to the waters;

and he who has no money,

come, buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

without money and without price.

On another mostly related note: Justin's veganism is wearing off on me and the more that I learn about what I'm eating the more I am drawn to sustainable living (which unless I raise my own animals) would mean a fairly vegan lifestyle. The concept of living off of my own supply is fascinating to me especially considering the nature of the world and where it's going. Let's add that to the list of things to do sooner rather than later. Well, I'm sure I'll expand on these thoughts some other time but for now I have quite the to-do list!
