Cellar
A friend’s dad has this habit of making little cabins on his rural property. It’s his way of keeping the time-honoured tradition of providing hospitality. “This way if someone comes over, they have a place to stay.” Here a little hatch leads to a hole in the ground under the cabin, in case someone needs a quite place to be, he said.

Apples
There’s a big crab apple tree in the country, where, if we don’t pick the fruit, it will rot on the ground. We put it through a machine that squishes it core, stem and all. Then boiled and put it in jars. Had local, zesty, pulpy juice all year.
