On Wednesday, September 1st, Andy and Jackie King of A&J King Artisan Bakers gave an informative, lively and ultimately yummy demonstration of pastry-making using fresh, seasonal fruits:
Everyone left very happy, with a fresh peach tart and even a loaf of bread!
On Thursday, September 9, Frances Moore Lappe, author of the revolutionary book Diet for a Small Planet, spoke in the Gould Barn. Frances was an energetic, positive speaker whose talk on the importance of a local diet sparked a lively discussion.
On Wednesday, September 15th, we welcomed local herbalist and lecturer Betsy Williams:
Not only was Betsy an entertaining and instructive speaker, she provided samples of her delicious herbed creations, including butter, mustard, nuts and soup.
Also, we have had three book discussions so far: one in the Library meeting room, one at Masconomet Middle School, and one at Masconomet High School. (Two more are coming up on September 28th and October 14th.) We have also been screening documentary films on Friday nights at the Library: on September 10 we screened Food Inc., and on September 17th we screened The Garden. Our next film screening will be Friday, September 24th and we will be showing The Future of Food.
Thank you to everyone who has made all of our events so far successful!
