From the Editor:
My whole family has been sick these past few days, and our two big projects at work are both due this month, so I will save the topics I intended to write about for a future newsletter.
May Events:

Please give Gina a special thanks for agreeing to host this month’s potluck on short notice after our previously scheduled host had to cancel.
Bring a Dish
Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us for some great food and great conversation! Families and guests are welcome. Please bring enough food to feed the size of your party, and your recipe on a 3×5 card or notepaper (Please include your name, and the source of the recipe. Be sure to give them to Lisa at the end of the evening. We are collecting these and will eventually compile a recipe book).
Upcoming Potlucks:
Our potluck meetings are regularly scheduled on the second Monday of each month. The next potluck will be June 8 (mark your calendars). We still need volunteers to host potlucks on July 13 and August 10. Let us know if you would like to host an upcoming potluck.
New to all of this?
For those of you who are new to The Weston A. Price Foundation principals please see the Dietary Guidelines and Characteristics of Traditional Diets for a brief overview, and then get a copy of the book Nourishing Traditions for in-depth information and recipes.
RSVP:
We appreciate an RSVP (info@krautpounder.com) if you think you will be attending so that we have a rough idea of how many people to expect, but feel free to just show up.
