Come to the first area screening of the 2013 documentary film about how Tompkins County, NY has shifted to 100% renewable energy!

Then talk with us about how we can bring renewable energy here, and make energy efficiency the standard. You all may know this issue is close to my heart, and I would love to have you as part of the conversation!
Suggested donation is $5 pp or $10 per family, to help support screening costs. We are also speaking series sponsors at $250, or donation of environmentally positive give-aways.

Film Screening: A Place at the Table Thursday, October 17th Greenwich, CT

A Place at the Table: Documentary and Discussion

Neighbor to Neighbor, the non-profit organization which is the food and clothing pantry of Greenwich, is partnering with Greenwich Library to provide a viewing of the award winning documentary “A Place at the Table” which was released March 2013. The film viewing will be followed by a panel discussion and question and answer session on the topic of hunger.
This documentary examines the issue of hunger in the United States by highlighting three Americans that struggle daily with food insecurity. In the U.S. today, 50 million people and a staggering one in four children do not know where their next meal is coming from. This program hopes to educate our community about hunger and the lack of food security in the U.S. and in Greenwich and its surrounding communities in particular.

Program is free and no registration is required.

October 17th
6:30PM - 9:00PM
Greenwich Library: Cole Auditorium
101 W Putnam Ave  Greenwich, CT 06830

Illustrated lecture “The Kitchen Mycologist”, Wednesday, Oct 9, Katonah

OCT 9: Illustrated lecture “The Kitchen Mycologist” with author Eugenia Bone. Katonah Village Library. Free. 

Refreshments will be served at 7pm and the lecture will begin at 7:30 in the Garden Room

 

Ms. Bone’s illustrated lecture “The Kitchen Mycologist” will explain how a bit of mycology will make you a better mycophagist. She’ll explore why some mushrooms more expensive than others, and why are some only found in the wild and others cultivated? Why do mushrooms cook the way they do? Why does one nutritionist say mushrooms have no nutrition, and another says they are key to nutritional health? How do I avoid getting ripped off when buying truffles and truffle products? And are they really aphrodisiacs?

Eugenia Bone is a nationally known food writer and lecturer, and the President of the New York Mycological Society. With three books on food and cooking, and articles printed in The New York Times Magazine, The National Lampoon, Saveur, Food & Wine, Gourmet, Fine Cooking, The Wine Enthusiast, and Martha Stewart Living, Ms. Bone boldly steered into a new frontier to study the science of fungi for her fourth book, “Mycophilia: Revelations from the Weird World of Mushrooms.” Delving into the topic uncovered mushroom mysteries, and cultivated a deeper understanding of nature.
