Power Point presentation and more.

[Chet]

Hello all,

Ashley is working on the Power Point to be presented to the BoS
tomorrow. Can everyone please send in the name of the dishes that they
are bringing in for people to sample. The name of the item, which part
of the meal (appetizer, main course, dessert) would it be served for,
and a brief desription would probably suffice for now. This is so she
can make a representative multi-cultural menu.

For example:

I will be bringing in Samosa's which are a spicy, potato and vegetable
filled Indian fritter/pastry served as an appetizer.

I will also bring in Dhokla, which are soft, mildly spiced cubes of
steamed gram flour and rice. These can be served as a side dish to a
main course or as a snack food.

Also, if you are working on a project and have a scan or a picture
that you can share with her that would be great.

Today is the Library's cultural event. I am assuming that our
bookmarks are ready and are going to be distrubuted at that event...
is that right?

If there are any other progress, concerns or news, please share with
the group. I hope to see many of you tommorow at the BoS meeting.

Costco sells Rugelach which are cookies of European origin. The containers are filled with 2 types of Rugelach: one with cheese and chocolate, the other is cheese, raspberries and walnuts.

I'm going to bring that.

Thanks,
Greg

An opportunity for Upper Merion citizens to record a brief description of
their heritage and their journey to our community. The Testimonial Journal
will be shared with the community at upcoming Community Fairs and other
appropriate community events, and will hopefully be stored at the Upper
Merion Township Library. Supplies will be available at the Upper Merion
Cultural Fair Committee Tent for our community members to create their own

Hi,
I'm thinking of making the fried spring rolls (representative of a
Chinese dish but I'm sure it is not an authentic dish. It is
Americanized and probably only found here in America!). I just figure
it's an easy finger food to eat and everybody loves them. In addtion,
there is variations within the Vietnamese, Cambodian and Thai.
Anyway, that would be an appetizer. I'll make two kinds. One
vegetarian (cabbage, noodle, carrots, waterchestnut and onions) and
the other non-vegetarian kind would be everything in the vegetarian
with ground pork. Then I was thinking of making this Cambodian
marinated beef with lime sauce, of course to represent my other half
of me, Cambodian. It would sometimes be eaten as a main course, eaten
with rice or as an appetizer on a bed of lettuce. For our purpose,
we'll make it as an appetizer. The beef is cute into cubes so I can
just get toothpicks to serve them. I hope these descriptions suffice,
Chet.

Can't wait to hear what everyone else is making or buying (Greg - I
love arugula. I used to make them too - I was sponsored to America by
a Jewish family!!).

Chin chin
Chin chin is a much loved West African pastry that serves as a snack,
dessert, or "street food". Chin chin holds a special place in the hearts
and stomachs of West Africans, as I have seen by the amount of searches
and discussion it generates. There are about as many recipes for chin
chin as there are ethnic groups in Nigeria - a lot! The ingredients and
variations are endless.

Some of you like the hard, crunchy type, others swear by a softer,
lighter recipe. You might season your chin chin with oranges and
cinnamon, or with nutmeg, or just enjoy the plain buttery flavour.
Common ground is that this is a pastry of flour, eggs, milk, butter,
salt and sugar. It might have baking soda, but if you like the hard and
crunchy type you should leave that out. It is deep fried in oil, a step
that seems to be unnegotiable. Suggestions of baking it for less
calories invite scoffing.

Shaping is also an issue. The no-frills shape is simply to cut the dough
into 1/2 inch squares and fry it. The fancier and authentic method is
poking a hole in the dough and pulling one end through, to form a knot.
This is easy and fast once you get the hang of it, and much more fun to
serve. Here is my recipe, for what it's worth, and I hope it is what you
have been looking for.

Looks great - just a few thoughts:

I think we should change "call this township home" on the first slide to "call Upper Merion home."

If the KOP Players are performing they should be prominently listed in the entertainment section.

Also my Rugala wasn't listed in the menu!

Thanks,
Greg

Hello All,

[RecIntern]

Greg,

Here is an Updated PowerPoint with the information you suggested. And I am sorry that I over looked your dish.

[Greg Waks]

The word "this" before "Upper Merion Township home."

Also the description of the players should not read as "we," as if the KOP Players wrote their own description.

Additionally, I like the menu page a lot but I'd like it if somewhere on the page it emphasized that this was the food that we're going to have there as opposed to just what a menu would look like.

Does anyone else have any comments?

Thanks for all your good work,

Greg

Mitali would you be able to hand out the book marks? I will get there I do not know what time. LaVera

[Greg Waks]

Actually, as far as the entire KOP Players section, I think all information about their Board of Directors should not be in there and it should focus more on what types of shows they perform, maybe something on the new agreement they reached with the township re: Moore Irwin House.

Thanks,
Greg

LaVera : I'll be there in the Library from 6 -7;30 pm. I can do that if you come by 7;30pm.

[Greg Waks]

Some basic info is that they are a local theater group that performs several different plays a year and they recently agreed to a public private partnership with Upper Merion Township to preserve and convert the historic Moore-Irwin house and convert it to a theater for their future performances.

Their website is www.kofpplayers.org

The plan is to have them perform the song "Getting to Know You" from the King and I.

Thanks,
Greg
