Cooking as a 2nd Language – Polish Cuisine Part 2 with Agnes Chojecka!
If you weren’t able to make Cooking as a 2nd Language – Polish Cuisine Part 1 you missed a unique opportunity to experience pierogi Turkish-style and the accompanying stories by our good friend and Sub Rosa Bread baker, Evrim Dogu. We learned that there probably isn’t a culture in the world that doesn’t have dumplings of some kind. This Saturday, 18 Feb., 9:30-12 noon, Agnes Chojecka returns from Poland and brings you Polish Cuisine Part 2 and features the original Polish pierogi – that nation’s quintessential delicacy – right to our little spot at William Byrd Community House. From chickpeas and lamb garnished in tomato sauce and garlic yogurt to cabbage and cheese garnished in sour cream and well, sounds creamy and yummy all round…and the variations are actually endless. If you haven’t signed up already, please do so by Wednesday, 15 Feb. at 6pm via EatGoodGrowGreat.blogspot.com – Watch – Listen – Make – Eat – Remember – Make & Eat Again!

This Wednesday at 8 pm at the VCU Commons Theater, VCU’s Green Unity will have its second meeting of the semester. It will feature a presentation about climate crisis (70 degrees in February, folks!) from the Climate Reality Project. Click here for the Facebok event page.

Then, Thursday night, the Richmond Anarchist Black Cross is hosting an event at the Flying Brick Library. Click here for the Facebook event page.

This presentation will discuss the current and ongoing repression of environmental/animal rights activists and liberators by efforts of U.S. government agencies and private sector groups; in particular the “terrorist”/”eco-terrorist” designation.
We will examine the history, goals and tactics of earth/animal defense groups, and focus more intensely on the increasing legislative/legal backlash – what has become punishable or consequential, how that has developed, and what those consequences are – and what this means for these folks as well as the broader spectrum of activists.

This may or may not be a good precursor to the RVA Environmental Festival, which is happening this weekend at the Byrd Theater, hosted by the Falls of the James group of the Sierra Club and the James River Film Society.
