The October 2010 end-of-season dinner featured my friend Timothy Bartling cooking with assistance from his friend Paula Bock. The weather was perfect and our neighbors decided the 20 acres of clover needed harvesting for seed just as people were showing up. Huge clouds of black dust rolled quaintly through the air landing on the linen and plates. I was able to convince them to hurry, and after a third brushing and wiping down things went great. A farm dinner in multiple ways. Here’s the menu.
