what we ate at our son’s 1st birthday party:
-homemade kimchi, quick pickles & kraut
-homemade butter and jam for the ployes
-a bowl of ployes (a buckwheat sort of pancake we eat in the northeast — they can be eaten sweet or savory!)
-a kale salad from our garden, dressed with lemon and oil (wonderful flavor, but also softens the kale!)
-a vat of mashed potatoes
-stuffed mushrooms
-baked apples (cored and stuffed with a butter/brown sugar mixture)
-honey glazed carrots, also from the garden
-stuffed roast pumpkins (pie pumpkins with a stuffing made from spices, broth, bread my brother made and celery from the garden!)
we feel so lucky that we were able to pull this off. we have been working for years to get to the point where we are growing much of our food, and being able to share this year has been incredible.
