Please join us for Reel Tasty:  Dames Discuss Food in Film, January 11, 2021

12/7/2020

0 Comments

 
​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 DINE
DATE: September 21
TIME:   7:00 pm on Zoom
RSVP:  More info to come soon
In case you thought it wasn't possible to enjoy dinner with members during a pandemic, you would be mistaken!  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!

POTLUCK WITH A STORY - A VIRTUAL EVENT FOR DAMES ONLY - Deadline is this Wednesday to submit your recipe!
Everyone has a story to tell about a family recipe, something learned from a grandmother or favorite relative, perhaps served at Sunday suppers or special occasions. No matter where we grew up, we all have memories of sharing food with family.For our annual summer potluck (this year on Zoom), we’d like to invite you to share a story about a favorite family recipe. We also strongly encourage you to make the dish and “bring” it to the potluck—we can’t taste it but we’d love to see it! It will all be a lovely way to get to know each other better.
We also plan to collate the recipes into a collection of all our traditions, and post them online for members. Please send the recipe (with a short introduction about it) by Wednesday, July 15 to Karen Lippold at karen@gourmetbykaren.com.
Membership committee member Taueret Thomas will act as host for the gathering.
DATE: Sunday, July 19
TIME: 7 to 8:30 p.m.
RSVP: Please click here to register on Eventbrite by Wednesday, July 15.  The password is  summer2020.  Eventbrite will email you the zoom meeting info, meeting ID and Password once you register and we will send it to you again before the gathering.
