Kate’s party

katesapron

Yesterday we threw a farewell party for our employee Kate, who had been a steady, amazing presence at Wheatberry for two rollercoaster years.  As a thank you, we had a potluck with some friends and current staff, and I added the above embroidery to the apron I made her last spring.  I did the embroidery free hand, so it’s a little wacky, but I’m learning to love the imperfections of handmade.  There was a lot of laughing, some tearing up (at least on my part!), and great food.

We made Wheatberry Salad with wheat we grew here on our farm, and a Triple Nut Tart, adapted from the wonderful book American Boulangerie.  The guests brough some yummy dishes also – brown rice salad, twice baked potatoes, brussel sprouts and shallots, butternut squash soup . . . It was super yummy, and Kate gave us possibly my favorite card ever, with this quote on the front, “You rest, you rust.”  Yup.
