A Video, a Salad, and a Fundraiser

Last month, I visited Alma from TakeBackTheKitchen.com to demonstrate how to make a delicious pear-goat cheese salad and to promote a fundraiser for Montclair's Public Schools. The fundraiser will be June 19th from 12-4pm at Montclair High School. We'll be there serving some food and promoting D&D. Can you come and help too?

Here's the video we made that was featured on baristanet.com:

Dinner and Divinity - April 16th - Artistic Peace

This weeks D&D was an artistic evening. After a delicious dinner of shrimp fried rice, an asian salad and falafel and homemade tahini, we gathered together to create some music and share some wisdom. Afterward, we spent about 20 minutes making "peace pledges" for our peace banner. Then, we tied them together and hung them up in our hallway. It's still there today! :)

Towards the end of the night, a friend of mine, Alma, shared with us some information about a fundraiser that is being held for the Montclair Public Schools in June. It'll be an afternoon potluck / concert. "Dinner and Divinity" will be joining the event and spreading the word. The event is in conjuction with two of Alma's projects which you can check out. One, is a cooking blog: www.TakeBackTheKitchen.com and the second, a non-profit run by Montclair parents / musicians: www.ParentsWhoRock.com

Check out the photos from the night and we hope to see you at the next Dinner and Divinity, April 30th.
