Pot Luck Meeting/Movie and Chocolate
Friday, February 12th 5:30
Join us at Main Street Gourmetin Orleans to catch a flick from their Food Awareness Film Series. This month they will be showing Chocolat, and James Canedy, owner of Main Street Gourmet, will be sharing his knowledge on making chocolate from “bean to bar”.
We also plan to meet 30 minutes prior to kick off time, to have a quick meeting. Recap last year, talk about our finances, and share plans for 2010. Would be great to get a core group together to help with our movement. So if you have thought about jumping in and lending a hand, have an idea that you would like to spring to life, or are just curious about what Slow Food is all about, come on down and lets take some action together.
Join us either for the meeting or the movie or both!

Main Street Gourmet in Orleans, has been showing a series of food films. Lets meet and share a snack, sip on goodies before the film, as well as after, with discussion about the film and other newsworthy food issues. Since I somehow did not make it to the theaters to watch my icon Julia Child, I thought this would be a fun way to take in the film and get together with other Slow Food members. Space is limited, BYOC (bring your own chair), and any goodies you would like to enjoy for the movie. There is no charge for this event – making it perfect for the holiday season…
Main Street Gourmet is an elegant and resourceful retail kitchen shop for the aspiring and weathered gourmet chefs alike. Slow Food Cape Cod has a decorated Gingerbread House on display, see if you can figure out which one it is, and cast your vote.
