Food for next weekend! (spoilers: Please cook. A lot.)

[Rebecca Edwards]

Hello everyone! Our singing weekend is nearly upon us. Remember that you can find all the details and download the flyer here: http://fasola.org/sf/goldengate/

A few notes about the bounty that we are about to share with our guests from near and far.

On Saturday, we will provide light potluck refreshments during the singing school. Anyone is welcome to contribute, but no need to go overboard - save your heavy duty cooking for the Sunday dinner on the grounds! I would love to have 3 people commit to bringing an item. Finger food only - I'm thinking crackers/cheese, fruit, and cookies. Please RSVP to me at rebecitacooks at gmail dot com.

For the Golden Gate singing on Sunday, we ask that local singers bring at LEAST one hearty dish to share. Think Thanksgiving dinner - protein, carbs, vegetable side dishes, and that dessert everyone wants the recipe to. In table groaning proportions. Basically, welcome to America - give me your casserole dishes, your crock pots, your extra serving utensils yearning to breathe free. There will not be facilities available to reheat your food, but you can easily keep your dishes warm/cold by insulating them in a cooler or cardboard box lined with towels.

Note that storebought items like french bread are rarely eaten. If homecooked is just not an option for you, you might pick up homestyle dishes or desserts from your favorite restaurant / deli / barbeque joint / bakery.

And finally, please be sensitive to those with food allergies and make sure to label your delicious meat/nut concoctions accordingly when you arrive.

Let's eat!
Rebecca
