Spring is on it's way…come celebrate the upcoming Equinox with friends, family and neighbours at Denman's Community Vegan Potluck Series, on Sunday, March 18th!
As always, food
lovers of every persuasion are invited. Four times a year the potluck
series provides a wonderful opportunity to meet new folks and share a
delicious meal accessible to all. Any 100% plant-based salad, entree,
dessert or single item dish is a suitable contribution to our
animal-friendly smorgasbords (excluding gelatin, honey, eggs and dairy,
please). Nothing fancy required, unless you are so inspired! Please
include an ingredient list with your contribution, and feel free to call
for ideas or assistance.
2012 marks the 27th anniversary of "Meatout" - an
international observance dedicated to advancing the joys and benefits of
a plant-based diet on or around the Spring Equinox each year. Since
it's inception in 1985, "Meatout" has grown to become the world's
largest grassroots healthy diet campaign. To celebrate the occassion,
Denman's potluck series is pleased to present the award-winning Best
Documentary at last September's Toronto Independent Film Festival.
"Vegucated" is a feature-length film that follows
three meat and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet
for six weeks. There's Brian, the pro-bacon bachelor who eats out all
the time, Ellen, the single mom who prefers comedy to cooking, and
Tesla, the college student who avoids vegetables and bans beans. Part
sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story,
"Vegucated" showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three
very different people who come together to share one journey and
ultimately discover their own individual paths towards a kinder,
cleaner, and greener world, one bite at a time.
Dinner gets underway at 6:30 pm, and admission is by
donation. Thanks for attending 'scent-free' for the comfort of
chemically-sensitive folks in our community who also look forward to
sharing great food and company at our potlucks. For further information,
