Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Do any of you have potlucks or other regular gatherings with folks who eat like you do? I've thought about organizing something like that in my area. Any tips? Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yes, my Simplicity Circle meets every two weeks, and even though I am the only one with food issues, everyone cooks around my food issues to make sure I can eat at least 5 of the 6 dishes we have at any meeting. (Each meeting includes a potluck meal.) I sent out a list of my allergies/intolerances and posted it on my blog for the group to use, and it has really been wonderful. The support is invaluable in my opinion, and I get great new recipes.

However, I'm speaking as a NH resident. You may have more luck in your area. By the way, did you all know it's World Vegetarian Day and Vegetarian Awareness Month? http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog/2007/10/01/happy-world-vegetarian-day -Erin check out my gluten-free cookbook http://www.vegandonelight.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It's a group of people who are meeting to support each other on the various paths toward simpler lifestyles--lower consumption of resources, better financial planning, etc. Like many such groups do, we started with the excellent book Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robins. You can google " simplicity circle " to find out more.
