Dear Friends,
All right, you foodie people. Every year I try to take your love of Michael Pollan and walk it one step further into its logical progression toward appreciation for biodiversity, by inviting you to help us pick invasive plants out of our woods. And every year I must say, I meet with diminishing returns. ;)
So here is your chance to help, get free lodging at a beautiful nature preserve, do what you do best and stay out of the yucky mud, ticks and briars (unless you want to do that, too, much obliged!).
We need people to sign up to cook dinners for our garlic mustard pluckers on these dates:
April 23
April 28
April 30
May 5
May 7
May 12
May 14
We will pay for ingredients, probably budgeted about $7 per plate. Make whatever you like, as long as you think it will satisfy a gaggle of hungry mustard-pluckers, all of whom are exemplary human beings who will be in a hearty and convivial mood by the end of the long work day, and probably in just the right midset for food, wine, and off-color jokes. Dinners will need to be prepared by 6 or so, but you'd have all day to cook and/or cook and hike, etc.
We are located about an hour and a half from Columbus, here: http://www.highlandssanctuary.org/Arc/TheArc.htm
WANDA: Gosh, Suzie, removing these invasive cedars from this native prairie is my idea of a good time.
SUZIE: Seconded, Wanda, but I could surely go for a sandwich.
If you are a professional chef or cook by trade, you can donate your services and deduct them from your taxes, and get free lodging to boot. If you're just a regular Joe who adores cooking, you can donate your services and get free lodging and the exultant worship of your deeply grateful dining companions.
Happy volunteers... hmmm they look famished though
I don't know if you've ever cooked for a mess of hungry outdoor workers, but there may be no greater audience for culinary expression.
Hope to hear from some of you bacon-loving, charcuterie-obsessed, perfect-sidecar-questing, localvores.
Thanks! Mandy
P.S. No Flaky Flakersons please. We need rock-solid commitments from dependable Iron Chefs. This Biodiversity Management is serious, hungry business. Thanks, M
