San Francisco, You’re Invited: 7/26 6pm – “Food Edition”

Food! Delicious, nourishing, beautiful food! In and of itself, it’s essential to life and a basic pleasure. But as we’ve all undoubtedly experienced, it has a special power to bring people together. The meal as a social ritual seems to be part of all cultures.

This month we explore food as a social technology. Neal Gorenflo will share his experience hosting simple dinner parties with an emphasis on connection rather than Martha Stewartesque ostentation. You don’t have to bend over backwards to entertain! In fact, that might just get in the way of building community.

Neal will bring a couple of his favorite easy-but-healthy dishes to share and will facilitate a discussion about entertaining in a sensible, sustainable way, a way that makes it more likely you’ll bring your friends together again and again. Feel free to bring your favorite dish or recipe as well.

And as always, please come prepared to tell us about your passions, discuss your needs, and share your gifts so that members of the community can support each other in building the lives we want to live.
