Cohousing-L Mailing List: Pie Party

[Lynn Nadeau / Maraiah (welcome]

We had a fun event yesterday. In place of a regular potluck, we had a Pie 
Party. On a sign up list, people listed either a savory or sweet pie they'd 
bring. We ended up with a big serving table full of beautiful savory pies-- 
creations of tomatoes, leeks, Mexican, cheeses, salmon, quiche, and so  many 
others. 

Several folks took charge of making salads, and getting lemonade and juices.

Dessert time brought more variety: regular and gluten-free crusts, fruits, ice 
cream pie, "whoopie" pies...

It was all delicious and a good break from the Usual. We followed up with a 
brief talent/no talent show, ranging from serious music and poetry to our 5 
year old putting the neighbor's dog through its trick routine, and a couple of 
young boys enthusiastically demonstrating jiujitsu wrestling. We hadn't done a 
talent show in some time and enjoyed that too.

Any other ideas for theme meals or other simple additions to the variety of 
community social life?
