🌿🍅🍝 Rooted Table preparations have officially been underway since yesterday!

And, as always, our wonderful volunteers showed up full of energy and ready to get to work; chopping, slicing, mixing, washing, picking fresh herbs, shaping meatballs, and doing all the little things it takes to prepare a meal for hundreds of people.

All while having fun, enjoying the process, and sharing the joy that comes from our love of food, community, and being of service to others.

Rooted Table, here we come! 🌱🍽️

seasonal potato dough dumplings filed with the same type of plums I use for the Polish plum cake. Thanks to Laurana Snyder we were able to identify this fruit tree as prune plum. Not only that, she has found it and now thanks to the city program, it’s growing in my front yard!

has a quality to it. It just feels calmer than the other days, a little slower, softer, and more intentional.

In our family, so much of that feeling is centered around food. And perhaps the most important Sunday tradition is my mom’s - - Polish chicken noodle soup, a beautiful clear broth with noodles that she has absolutely perfected. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to make it quite the way she does.

It is healing soup in every sense of the word.

We wake up to the smell of it simmering and spend the morning knowing that around noon, we’ll gather together for a bowl. There’s nowhere we need to rush off to. We rest, eat, talk, play with kids, go for a walk, read, and simply enjoy one another while time passes slowly around us.

Lately, those Sundays have meant even more to me.

I’m beyond grateful that I’ve had the chance to come home. And I’m equally grateful for the community here, and beyond, that has held me up, too. Your generosity helped raise the money I needed for an emergency room visit and other hospital expenses during the period when I lost my medical coverage. Your support also helped make it possible for me to travel home comfortably and be surrounded by family.

There are some things you don’t fully understand the value of until you need them: , , community, a place to come home to, and a bowl of your mom’s soup waiting for you on Sunday.

I don’t take any of it for granted. 🤍
