Author of The Apron Book, EllynAnne Geisel, has come up with a fantastic idea that I'm sure will be of interest to our readers/bakers: National Tie One On day. Excerpts from her website say it best:
"On the day before Thanksgiving, EllynAnne encourages us to pause in the preparation of our own meal, wrap a loaf of bread in an apron, tuck a prayer or note of encouragement in the pocket, ... and deliver the wrapped bundle to someone in need of spiritual or physical sustenance.
... “Women clad in aprons have traditionally prepared the Thanksgiving meal,” says EllynAnne, “and it is within our historical linkage to share our bounty.”
In celebration of the event, Ms. Geisel is hosting a book give-away on her blog. See her post for details and leave a comment to enter.
If you should choose to participate in National Tie One On day, please feel free to share any photos you may take in the our flickr pool.
