Tofu and Sea Salt

i've been tagged!

The six random facts meme, passed along from miss-frugality!

Here's the rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself. (See below)
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them. (See further below...)
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up. 

Random Things:

1.  I recently came to terms with the fact that I don't like sweet red beans in Japanese desserts.

2.  I teach English in Japan to save money and experiences for when I am a full-time, self-      employed artist.

3.  I want to live in Vermont someday soon and build a cob house.

4.  I am married to Mikel Bisbee-Durlam.

5.  We have horse meat in our freezer even though we don't eat meat.

6.  We filmed a horror film in Paris two years ago.

I tag:

OK, so far I don't have anyone else to tag.  LAME.  I will work on adding more.

Just a quick note:

Happy Halloween!

This is my halloween costume: a chimney sweep.  
Just kidding.  
This is me trying to slide down a railing at a fire festival a couple weeks ago.

These are some of my students.  Cute, huh?  They all wish they had Halloween.  They love the idea of wearing costumes and going on nighttime adventures to get lots of candy.

I made tofu from scratch with them last week.  It was amazing!  
For a class project they grew the soy beans and we made tofu from those and "nigari" which is something they made (along with sea salt) from boiling sea water.  
It was a magical day.

Sorry, no pics of paintings yet.  TGIF!  Time for long awaited larger chunks of studio time. 
Time to go pick apples!

Happy Halloween to you too! Tofu that you made your self, I can't belive it till I see it.

After you have souped up your blog can you tell me how you did it, I am not a big fan of mine.
