Filling station

Was hearing about more shortages - tanker drivers this time. Some minor consolation as I move the wood I cleared last winter closer to the house. Unstack/stack and then it will still need to be fetched to the stove. I guess people have been doing this since time immemorial.

It’s mainly the hazel coppice with some willow and field maple. Lots of small stuff too which is handy for the wood-fired cooker (cucina economica) if we fire it up this year.

Here’s a link to the making of the prized Tortello alla lastra from the tiny Tuscan Appenine village of Corezzo. I heated one up in a frying this evening. The potato purée filling is a thing of wonder. The rolling pin skills here are majestic even if the sound track is a bit de trop
