Plan: 2008 Heartland Gathering in Chicago Aug 8-10

As promised, below is a link to an interactive Google map of food/beverage-shopping venues that are near the church. Of course, this map is not all-inclusive but I tried to include as many viable places as I could think of, that were at least somewhat nearby:

Thanks for all your hard work. I can NOT wait to get to The Spice House.

Is there going to be some kind of charity-related silent auction or something happening?

I ask because I'm leaving Japan in a couple of weeks, and was thinking of picking up something here if I can find something that will last more than a month and won't add to my already topped duty-free alcohol limit.

And I ditto Randi, Ron. Thanks for all your hard work! :smile:

That would be kinda cool. I have some neat items( culinary) I could possibly donate.

I'm still working with Ronnie_Suburban on nailing down a location for the bread workshop (which hopefully might also be suitable for a chocolate workshop as well). We should know soon (hopefully) the location for this. In about two weeks, I will be posting the specific details of the workshop (which breads we'll be doing, timeline for the workshop, etc.)

An update to the list ...

Heartland Gathering Bread Workshop

Friday, August 8th

I'm interested in the chocolate workshop!

And my +1 is interested in the bread workshop, but hasn't decided on am only, pm only, or both.

(by splitting up, we can get the best of both worlds!)

Thats the one I was thinking about.

LAZ · June 27, 2008

Who else would like to do something? You don't have to have a solid plan yet, just a willingness to put something together.

Add me to the list. I am local, so I was thinking I could do something that could mostly be prepped in advance.

I had been thinking along the lines of a cold soup, but I see Alex has that already covered.

Ethnic shopping tour?

If anyone is interested, I'd be glad to lead a tour of ethnic stores in Niles, either Friday during the day or in lieu of the farmers' market on Saturday morning. (The Evanston market is a fine market, but I doubt it's significantly different from farmers' markets in your hometown.) Niles, about 5 miles west of Evanston, offers one of the most diverse ethnic shopping experiences in Chicagoland, with about 50 different food stores, including:

Armenian

Assyrian

Eastern/Central European

Filipino

German

Greek

Indian

Italian

Korean (with two of the largest Korean supermarkets in the Midwest)

Polish

Serbian

and more.

This article, Super markets: Niles' plethora of ethnic grocers makes town food-shopping mecca, is somewhat dated but it will give you an idea.

Yeah, it's a tough decision. Bread... Chocolate... Bread... Chocolate... Bread... Chocolate...

At least we all get enjoy the results of the workshops. :smile:

Kerry - If you're planning to do the chocolate workshop on Friday, count me in too, please! I've followed a number of your threads & projects with great interest.

Heartland Gathering Cooks Update

Course Cooks

Tino - Bread

tammylc - Amuse

Alex - Soup

CaliPoutine - Salad

Marmish - Salad or Side

NancyH/Bob/Edsel - Meat

LAZ - something mostly prepared in advance

Jean Blanchard, Kerry Beal, CaliPoutine - Dessert

nyokie6 - Dessert or Pasta

Sous Cooks

Fresser

Possible Components people could bring prepared if cooks want them

Fig jam - CaliPoutine

Caponata - Jean Blanchard

Things are shaping up pretty well for head cooks, but we still have room for another one or two! Also, I figured we might as well start assembling a list of people who are particularly interested in being sous cooks, so head cooks could start assembling a team if they are so inclined. If you want to lend a hand in the kitchen, please speak up and I'll add you to the list.

I think that's a great idea! I might be interested, assuming we can arrange things to get back to the church in a reasonable time for those of us who are in charge of a course. Other head cooks should think about if they would want to shop for their courses at the Farmer's Market or join the ethnic excursion, because we'll need to coordinate some of the meal planning around that.

ronnie_suburban · June 30, 2008

Tammy,

I'd like to provide some bbq. I'm not sure exactly what yet but if that's ok, please put me down for a bbq course.

Thanks,
