When:            Saturday, October 9th, Lunch time 11-3 pm

Where:           Hampden, Kyle Fritz’s house (address to be posted to those who RSVP below)

Topic:             The Fall and Apple Cider Pressing

The October Food Makers potluck is about enjoying home made, seasonal fall foods and getting to learn how apples are pressed into apple cider.  Two people in the group own apple cider presses, and both of them will be setup and working at the potluck.  We’re still working out the logistics of apples, but the short story is that we’re going to be loading massive buckets full of apples and pressing them with a few hundred pounds until a sweet golden nectar comes pouring out.  I guarantee you haven’t tasted cider this good before. 

As far as food, just bring a home made dish with whatever fall ingredients are in season now.  (It doesn’t need to involve apples at all).  Hit up a farmer’s market, supermarket or your garden, and make something that you enjoy eating.  

And with so many new members residing in Hampden, we decided to make this month’s event happen right square in Hampden.  How can you not come to a party that’s within walking distance?

In summary, come on out, learn how cider’s made (press some yourself), eat some tasty home made food and enjoy the company.

A few administrative items: 

All Food Makers, family and friends are invited (all ages welcome).  As always, the cost if FREE, just bring along a seasonal home made dish to share.  Also, bring anything you need to eat with, i.e. plate, utensils, napkins, cups.  And the potlucks are BYOB so bring along whatever tasty beverage you desire.  Important: the address for the potluck will be emailed a couple of days before the potluck to everyone who signs up below.
