Defining Food Moment

Apartment Therapy--The Kitchn had a post today about defining food moments in your life as a cook. Do you have one? I sometimes think about this--when did I become a cook? I think it was my senior year of college when I had my first apartment and my first cookbook and making food for friends became an important part of my social life. Making Thanksgiving dinner for 16 people that first year nearly sent me over the edge, but....it turned out....and it tasted good. What about you?

Compost FEAST

Dinner!

In honor of Earth Day and all things green, this month's theme is Compost FEAST. All those food bits you would normally throw out are now the main course (or side dish or appetizer...). If this doesn't sound so appetizing, think of some of the good stuff that gets pitched: orange peel, pumpkin seeds, coffee grounds, beet greens, chicken livers, those random egg yolks from that cake you made (custard anyone?). Get creative and be brave. Think like a worm- there are some tasty treats in that garbage can!

DATE & TIME: April 27 @ 6:30 PM.
LOCATION: 81 Sterling Place - Barber Pad

The Ides Have It

Bangers and Mash, Scotch eggs, Haggis, Bubbles and Squeak, Yorkshire Pudding, Mushy Peas and Fish & Chips--this month we are celebrating the cuisine of the British Isles. March 16th--the day between the fear of doom and the fun of debauchery....we'll be getting our eats on. Can't wait to see what you bring!

Chinese New Year

Any plans for what you're bringing?

King-like it was

Not only was the dinner in a mansion, but there was enough food for the neighborhood. Click here for more photos.

Fit for a (Martin Luther) King (Jr.)

Alright, FEAST folks, as promised (though a little late), here is the announcement for the JANUARY 2008 inaugural FEAST of the year.

Inspired by the holiday, (and egged on by the recent Gourment issue), let's try our hands at a SOUTHERN feast fit for a (Martin Luther) King (Jr.)

Let's celebrate the man and his message by throwing down home style.

Monday, January 21 (MLK Jr. day), The Clue House, 7pm
927 President St btw PPW and 8th ave
(there may be billiards as well)

If this feast date is a real problem for folks, let me know and i can change the date/theme as needed.

Hope to see you all there! If you're coming, post some internet clues as to your contribution here if you can.
