I had pickled herring with mustard and rice cakes for breakfast again, along with a large cup of very strong Lapsang Souchong tea.  Lorena drinks the tea but refuses the herring.   She choses instead to have her own homemade spinach hummus on toast for breakfast, along with a second small slice (of bread I’ve baked in our woodfired oven) generously slathered with blueberry jam.  Jam that is of course authentically homemade from this very homestead.
