ANNOUNCING A NEW LDEDC MEMBER ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY
REEL TASTY: DAMES DISCUSS FOOD IN FILM It’s a movie club--like a book club, without the reading. Dames will watch fiction films with plenty of food scenes as well as the occasional culinary documentary on their own and then meet via Zoom every 6 weeks. Each time, a Dame host will choose the movie and lead the discussion. Membership in the group is open to all interested Dames. DATE: January 11 TIME: TBD RSVP: More information coming soon HOST: Gail Forman, contact at gailforman@comcast.net to join the discussion FILM SELECTION: The Lunch Box, directed by Ritesh Batra and available on Amazon and Mubi. The New York Times called it “An Indian Appetizer, Subtly Spiced,” and went on to say, “at its heart The Lunchbox is about the amazing dabbawallahs, who transport hot meals by Mumbai housewives to their deskbound husbands. A rare mix-up leads to a connection between a woman trying to woo her husband through his stomach and a testy insurance claims adjuster [a stranger] sliding toward early retirement. The two pass notes in the lunchbox” and create a fantasy relationship. DAMES WHO READ

The Membership Committee is scheduling monthly Dames Who Dine virtually. In our most recent Summer Supper, we learned that you can tickle tomato flowers to increase production; thanks for the tip, Judy Rusignuolo! Jessica Botta shared her homemade lasagna, and while we couldn't taste it, we enjoyed seeing it and Drew Faulkner offered up advice on freezing eggplant. Join us next time because you never know what tips and tricks you will pick up and it's a great way for us to stay connected! DAMES WHO DINE (Dames Only) FARM TO TABLE SUMMER SUPPER
Join us for a Zoom celebration of summer's bounty! Choose one of your favorite ingredients from a local farmers market and prepare a dish for the dinner. Or perhaps you have produce or herbs from your own garden you would like to use. Alternatively, order takeout from a local restaurant --preferably Dames owned or Dames affiliated-- featuring a seasonal ingredient. (The Wild Apricot Directory is your best source for identifying Dame restaurateurs.) Hope to 'see' you there! Please let us know if you are planning to participate.
