RECESSION ACTIVITIES: Free Casserole & Beer Tasting
Golden Chicken-Lima Casserole
The financial monitors don't seem ready to declare recession. They blame "recession fears" not an actual recession for the state of things. If cakehead.com had the microphone, we'd state the obvious. Don't worry. We're going to make sure that you don't end up waiting in any lines -- be it for soup, bread or gasoline (no guarantees about the Post Office).
Whether you remember the gas lines of the 70s, or the soup lines of the 30s, some of our nation's greatest culinary inventions sprung from the periods of penny pinching. It's the depression of 1890 that you have to thank for the magic of the American casserole.
"With the addition or subtraction of leftovers or inexpensive cuts of meat, the casserole is flexible and economical in terms of both ingredients and effort."- The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, Vol. 1"
It is for that reason that we want to announce a wonderful free night of casserole and beer tasting at the Brooklyn Kitchen.
What: Emily Farris, Greenpoint resident and author of Casserole Crazy: Hot Stuff for Your Oven, will demonstrate and sample two casseroles recipes from her book. And to complement, Spuyten Duyvil Grocery in the Bedford MiniMall will give out free samples of a pumpkin beer.
Where: Brooklyn Kitchen, 616 Lorimer Street (@ Skillman), Williamsburg, Brooklyn
When: Thursday, November 20th, 6:30 pm
Fee: Free
Subway: L Train to Lorimer
