Our December Gathering was a humble and delicious experience. We got together and made Thai salad rolls! Everyone caught on pretty quick and had no problem devouring the new skill they had learned!
We were lucky to find most of our ingredients at Mai’s Asian Market, a Newport staple. We also had some delicious contributions from Liz Fox’s home garden, including some gorgeous rainbow chard and some edible flowers.
The structure of the gathering was pretty simple. Sometimes we do more elaborate activities, but this night was all about sharing time with each other.
We also learned a bit more about some of the activities and projected opportunities over at the Newledo Exploration Hub, including the addition of their new farmers/chefs, monthly activities, and potential ideas like building cardboard creative structures and then using the cardboard for a composting project for the farm.
Thank you to everyone involved and we hope to see those of you who couldn’t make it at following gatherings.
