Couture, Sauerkraut, and Brussels Sprouts

It started last winter and spring with sauerkraut and pickle classes in my kitchen. Then there was a summer series of fitting, sewing, and pattern-drafting lessons in Ruth's living room.

Now it's Ruth's turn to dish (and it won't be the last). This Saturday she will teach me and a small handful of our neighborhood friends how to prepare her famous shaved Brussels spouts. We're turning my little kitchen into a classroom (and wine bar). 

This could be too much fun. We are talking about doing a class every third Saturday. We can teach each other so much good stuff. I'm headed off to an engagement workshop next month. Who knows... the whole neighborhood could be knitting, fermenting their own kimchi, and having clearer, more honest conversations by the end of the year. The possibilities are giddy-making!

If there is something you want to learn or teach, let's talk. It's a collective; we're in this together.
