Weekly Community Dinner: Arielle in the lead, serves old family favorite
“My grandmother makes a pot roast with potatoes and carrots every time we visit her,”
— says Arielle, who wanted her dinner to be one that reminded her of her family. At some point I asked her how we were doing. Fine! She said.
Arielle, one of our new podmates, in last night’s second weekly Community Dinner of the new semester, served her family pot roast up for all of us along with other goodies made by and with her step mom Leslie, who also participated, calling this second-ever (for her) Community Dinner already a habit. Aaron’s mom Joanne also attended, a welcome surprise. She comes once in a while, and this time brought with her news of a new film to be shown downtown at the Buskirk Chumley on Sunday afternoon, at 4:30 p.m. I plan to attend.
This morning, I organize a work party and check results of another one. . .
Coming home from walk with puppy Shadow I run into Logan, our new neighbor across the street. He is available for the short work party I’m organizing for Sunday evening to re-arrange the logs down in my front yard to create one long hugelkultur bed and a neat pile of logs to be cut for firewood.
Food Preservation 101: canning and drying
Yesterday evening, three young podmates joined Rebecca in what is for now a regular weekly event during harvest season: preserving extra food from the garden. In this case, drying squash and canning tomatoes. Though we also freeze extra produce, in our two large freezers. — A.K.
