Wheatberry Salad

Soak two cups of wheatberries overnight in cold water...
I soaked mine for 24 hours, its takes less cooking time
and at 9000 ft. it really makes a big difference, especially with beans. I
may soak beans for three days depending on the type of beans.

I attended a luncheon for the ladies at church on Saturday and a lunch after church on Sunday. Mm mm, the food was divine. No, it really was. I made a macaroni salad with apples, broccoli, dill, ham and cheese for Saturday and a pea salad (my mom's recipe) for Sunday. Both days I enjoyed a wheatberry salad brought by others. I did not have the opportunity to meet whoever made them, so I am "winging it" on the ingredients and have no way to give credit where credit is do. Sorry! On Sunday, Number One tried it and liked it too, so I decided to make a batch up for the up coming week.

I thought the reflection in the water was cool...

Don't try to wipe the fingerprint off
your screen, it's on my lens. Sorry!

I set my camera on the counter for a moment and when I went to pick it up
 the apples were posing, obviously they wanted their picture taken.
