When the bizarre food arrives, each person takes their turn to sample it.  If they are a timid eater, we may ask that person to try more.  After they give their impressio …

This group is all about real food! It's about timeless, traditional foods nourish us and how they should be prepared.  Weston A. Price was a dentist practicing in Cleveland, OH during the 1920's and 30's.  Quite suddenly, he noticed that the children coming into his office had two major changes.  The first change was that they were presenting with a higher rate of cavities than ever before.  The second change was that he saw that their teeth were overlapping and crooked.  They did not have adequ …

Hey there, I've always been into dinner parties, sharing my kitchen, teaching cool cooking stuff, enjoying great wines, and making friends.

The goal here is to have dinner parties where we create a theme dinner, then you all can decide the level of involvement you want, from shopping, setting up, working in the kitchen, opening …

There are lots of dining groups on Meetup; I belong to some. And they're great. But I don't see anything devoted to the goofy, offbeat restaurants and snack shops and events that can make eating a purposefully amusing experience. Tabletops before tablecloths, go cups before goblets, fun before fancy, cute before culinary. I don't want to be a decadent foodie all the time! This isn't intended to be devoted to bargain, cheap-eats places, though most of the things I'm interested in for this gro …
