I was so organized going into this reconciliation for the month of June – I kept up to date on our bank account all month.
YET – it doesn’t balance!! Argh. I’ve got a mystery to solve.
In the midst of all that, 5 smiling faces appeared at the front counter! I can always tell when the KERF readers appear because they make eye contact with ME instead of the BREAD!! This group was having a girls’ weekend and came down to Cville to visit from Pennsylvania and Fredericksburg. They were lots of fun! A special shout out goes out to their friend and KERF reader Emily and her babies. Best wishes Emily!
The crew brought me treats from PA – BEER (wheee!) and Dill Pickle Popcorn!
We opened the popcorn just now – yum!!! It’s so strong in a very good way. Matt, Karen and I can’t keep our paws out of the tin!
I just sat down for lunch – a delicious blend of leftover salmon + beans + avocado plus garden kale I picked this morning. Eat More Kale! I dressed the salad in the sesame ginger marinade that reader Dani brought me, and it totally made the salad.
Nine Grain on the side!
After a really slow week, business is booming today. Such a relief! I’m headed home in an hour to get ready for the wedding. Better be able to solves this math problem in one hour!!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
EAt more kale is right 🙂 I love that stuff, esp as chips. What a lovely gift they brought you, YUMM! good luck figuring that math out…..;)
Hillary says
This is going to sound really, really weird, but I was just thinking this morning that we haven’t seen some awesome wedding photos on here in a while. Guess that’s about to change real soon!
Have a great time tonight!
Lauren says
Guilty as charged 😀 I’m sure I did that stare at you thing and probably creeped you out! Dill pickle popcorn? Wow! My dad would LOVE that! They even make pickle Popsicles now. Surprisingly not that bad….pretty refreshing!
Monika says
Beer is the perfect gift 🙂
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
It must be fun to randomly meet your readers. Have fun at the wedding!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
I am SUCH a popcorn lover…that tin would be HISTORY! around me 🙂
And every time I see your Eat More Kale shirt, I covet thee.
Kelsey says
You guys are allllllllllways going to weddings! I almost bought kale at the market today.. but then didn’t. Maybe I should walk back down and buy some!
Laura @ Cookies vs. Carrots says
Dill Pickle Popcorn? That might be a bit crazy for me 🙂
Your salad looks amazing though! I always lean towards spinach, romaine, and mixed greens, but I should try to mix kale in a bit more often!
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Great t-shirt! 🙂
Hope you have a nice time at the wedding.
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
Haha, I agree with Kelsey above – you have so many weddings to attend! I guess you’re at ‘that age’ where everyone gets married..it’ll be baby showers next :p
Good luck with the maths. I so don’t envy you there :s
Gina @running to the kitchen says
When I waitresses in college sometimes I had to close out the register after the night, it was such a pain, I don’t think it ever zero’d out! And that was just one night! I don’t envy having to do a whole month’s worth of recon!
Stacie @ Imperfectly Healthy says
When we lived in Pittsburgh we were just a few short blocks away from Pittsburgh Popcorn Co. Oh, how I miss they’re popcorny goodness! They have the yummiest flavors around!

Baking 'n' Books says
Do you guys have uniforms at the Bakery or can you wear your own shirts? You need a – Eat More GH shirt!!
Molly @ RDexposed says
Mmmm loved the kale that I bought from last week’s city market. I am planning to plant it in our garden next year to replace the failing spinach.
Karin (allpointswhole) says
Yay for a booming day of business and supportive readers!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I love your shirt 🙂
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I want to eat more kale! I’m thinking of planting some for the fall!
Jackie @ That Deep Breath says
Dill Pickle Popcorn? That sounds like my dream come true.
Amy* says
I’ve seen dill pickle popcorn before. (I thought it was just a Texas thing, but I guess not.) I’ve always been to freaked out to try it, although I do love a good pickle. Maybe next time I see some, I’ll take the plunge.*
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
How nice of your readers to stop by and bring gifts! So cute. 🙂
Your lunch salad looks perfect. I love salmon on greens! YUM
Emily says
awww thanks for the shout out 🙂 I was so jealous when they told me they were going to stop by your bakery! We’ll have to come visit when the twins get a bit bigger 😉
KathEats says
🙂 They said you’d be happy to be there in spirit
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Dill Pickle popcorn sounds so good!!!
Lorin says
I came in today and got a Savannah and Apple Crunch Bread Pudding bar, it was delicious! I said hi to Allie but saw you in your office so I didn’t want to bother you. Your Great Harvest was awesome; especially with the almond butter spread to sample! I didn’t sample too much because I feel bad for sampling anywhere, haha. Anyways, have a good rest of the weekend! I’m glad I could stop by. :]
KathEats says
Oh man I was waiting for you to come!! You should have said something 🙁 Maybe next time and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Lorin says
Yeah, I’m sorry. I regret not saying hi to you today, especially since that was partly why I came here (also to see Charlottesville). I live in California, but I hope to be back here next summer. I went to the downtown area and had dinner and went to arch’s to get that gooey brownie! Really good! It’s funny how you’re going to a wedding because there is one in the hotel that I am staying at tonight. I’ll say hi next time 🙂
KathEats says
So glad you had a good time!! Our wedding was out in the country, but I bet the OMNI was hoppin’!
Namaste Gurl says
I love kale and I REALLY want that shirt 🙂 In fact, I think i’m ordering today!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
have fun at the wedding 🙂 the popcorn sounds amazing!!
Wendy says
I do bookkeeping for my family’s dairy farm, and it drives me bonkers when the books don’t balance at the end of the month. Usually it’s a math error on my part, but once in a while it’s a check that cleared for a different amount than I wrote it for. I found out the bank goes by the written-out number if it doesn’t agree with the numerical one. Good luck solving your money mystery!
Julie H. says
Maybe I should plant some kale for fall…. Oh yes, I should! KERF readers are loyal, and so nice! 🙂 Have fun at the wedding!
Patty says
I’ve been in the garden trying to keep it clean. We have a community garden where I have two garden plots one for row crops and one for vine crops> My row crop plot got drowned out right after I planted it. Wasn’t going to replant but. While weeding today I realized I needed more than six beets in the row crops so I replanted. I hope it pays off.

Mmmm popcorn sounds good right now!! And I’m so happy for you guys that business is going well again~ I’m sure there will be many ups and downs, but perseverance is key! 😀
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
Dill pickle popcorn?!?! That sounds amazingly delicious! I am on a huge pickle kick these days.

Kim says
we came in today and picked up a cheddar garlic loaf, a savannah bar and a pumpkin muffin! yum. i introduced myself to allie but i think you were busy in the office working on those numbers!
Kath says
I really wasn’t busy!! Wish you’d said hi 🙂
Kim says
I wish I could get kale where I live 🙁
Never had it and soooooooo want to!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I would dominate that popcorn! I love anything dill pickle flavoured.

jenna k says
i had the pleasure of visiting great harvest nashville this week on a trip to visit some friends. i got the cinnamon chip since i’ve been drooling over it for weeks through your pictures! 🙂 i almost got spinach feta too, but decided to save it for my next trip. seeing a GH in action and tasting the bread made me love the brand and the product!!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
mmm salmonnnnnnnnnn
And I wish I had a bakery that my readers would stop & visit me in 🙁
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
That salad looks rockin!! Yummy!
Casey says
Account reconciliation is a pain! Look at all your receipts for checks you wrote and make sure everything lines up. Thats where I usually run unto trouble.
Angel7 says
Eat more kale it is 🙂 We have kale chips on-hand about everyday now. It has become a staple in our household 🙂

Ashley @ the fit academic says
okay, so I’m semi-new-ish to your blog and I keep seeing you reference “Karen” but have no idea who she is/how she’s related to you and/or part of your life? Can you fill me in?
KathEats says
She’s my mother in law!! She lives a few miles from us here in Cville
Shannon says
I’m loving all the kale … both on your shirt and in that yummy looking salad!
