The Acre Substack Dinner Party | August
An abundant end of summer celebration, with a touch of theater.
I am loving the community on Substack. There are so many brilliant creators, and I am inspired everyday to create, cook or learn something new.
Each month I will pull together my curation of what I am loving into a themed dinner party, with tableware and additional ideas to round it out. This is going to be so fun to see how these evolve over the year. Join me at The Acre Substack Dinner Party August.
Setting the Table
We have arrived in August, the height of summer here in the Midwest. I was hesitant to plan this dinner party, overwhelmed by the volume of in-season produce. I honed into some Substack recipes that I believe celebrate the very best crops of August.
As far as the location of this affair, I would set a long table along a space in our yard we call ‘the prairie’. It is full of pollinator plants, and it is so fun to watch the butterflies and bees flit about, a perfect view for an August dinner party. This dinner would be for ten to twelve guests, a larger gathering to send summer off well.
