Jan 11: Meeting & Potluck Dinner

Monday, January 11, 2010
6:30 to 8:30 PM

Location:
At the home of Ellen S.
1025 Elkay Dr., Eugene

Directions: From the North:
Take River Road exit from Beltline left/south onto River Road. Go about a mile and a half, pass traffic lights at Horn Lane and Hilliard. Turn right onto Elkay Drive, just in front of “River Road Medical Group”.

From the South:
Take Chambers Street north until it turns into River Road. Turn left onto Elkay Drive (you’ll see River Rd. Medical Group on the left).

Once on Elkay Drive:
1025 Elkay Drive is about 1/2 mile from River Road. Look for the big wooden fence with big black wrought iron gate. Park parallel to the fence in the grassy area outside the gate, not in the driveway. Come in through the gate (which may be hard to open), up the brick steps (watch out, they can be slippery when wet).

Phone:
Ellen’s number is 689-3968

Topic:
The topic for this evening is making and using bone broth. We also welcome questions and discussion about all WAPF topics, so bring your questions.

Bring Something to Share
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, as well as 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). Written recipes help everyone to learn about how the dish was prepared, and also allow those of us with food sensitivities to avoid potential problems.

Upcoming Potlucks:
Our potluck meetings are regularly scheduled on the second Monday of each month, but we can make changes as needed. We still need volunteers, so let us know if you are able to host an upcoming potluck.

New to all of this?
We would like to encourage everyone to attend. If you are new to this way of cooking, don’t worry; just bring something homemade using real ingredients. Sally Fallon (author of Nourishing Traditions and founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation) reminds us not to become food purists. We are all here to learn. We encourage you to read the Dietary Guidelines and Characteristics of Traditional Diets for a brief overview, and then purchase a copy of the book Nourishing Traditions from the Eugene Chapter for in-depth information and recipes. And if you want to learn more about WAP principals, the potlucks are a great place to ask questions!

RSVP:
We appreciate an RSVP 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.
