Everybody, this is Kristi. She’s captured here in her natural environment with a Canon Rebel using a 18-55 mm telephoto lens. This awesome photojournalism took place this morning at The Growing Center in Somerville, where Kristi was adding dry stuff to the compost bins and just before an elderly Italian gentleman, taken with her “big, sparkling eyes,” serenaded her in Italian.

Our real mission there, though, was meeting with Lisa of The Growing Center and plotting an event. Please come. It’ll be really delicious and we’d love to meet you at [drumroll] The Local Cheese Tasting! Mark your calendars for July 16, from  7-9, plan on having a light dinner and wandering over to The Growing Center and nibbling on the many delicious + affordable cheeses. We’re also going to show a short film under the stars about some important food issue, but we haven’t quite decided which one exactly it will be. But that’s good for you, because you’ll have a surprise to look forward to.

If it were the year 2014, you could take the Green Line to Union Square and walk from there. But it’s not. So it’s either drive (there’s plenty of parking) or find a bus that goes to Union Square or has a stop somewhere near the corner of Highland Ave + Vinal Street (the #88 picks up at the Davis Sq station which is on the Red Line).

We’ll keep you posted on this, but please try to come! And if anyone out there has suggestions for cheeses we should try, write to us [info at bostonlocalvores dot org]. Also, we’re amateur cheesemongers — anyone with real language or expertise that wants to volunteer their skillz for a couple of hours would be repaid in cheese and karma and gratitude.
