Since I don't have a recipe for you today, I thought I'd share the dinner bell from up at the farm. I think it's going to get a new coat of paint this summer, but I wanted to share it in it's current patina.
I'll post the recipe for the Mushroom Pork Ragout later this week.
that is so cool. i love thinking back to when something like that was the best way to call the family for dinner. now we sometimes call them one their cell phone even if they are just in their bedroom or something!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a handle added to it again and a finial to the top. You'd probably have to make one though, I'm guessing they are hard to come by.
ReplyDeleteI love this bell! I want one too.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how easy they are to come by, but it's one of my favorite things on the farm. I took a bunch of pics that I'll share. The ones of the barn didn't turn out, the sun was on the wrong side so it looks black. It was so bright there I couldn't really look at the pics until I got back. But when we go back to get the table and stuff I'll take some more in the afternoon this time.
ReplyDeleteoops. that rob comment was actually me. sometimes he signs into my computer and FORGETS TO SIGN OUT and i don't notice until much later.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. When there was no profile associated with it, I was wondering if it was someone who saw the bell on Flickr or something. :) At least I'll know for possible future rob comments.
ReplyDeletethis is a great photo, and very cool to have a bell like that!
