For the Love of Adobo

OK, so though I'm a romantic, Valentine's Day has not been too romantic for me. I tend to enjoy unexpected romance (like kindness on a day when you're not expected to be kind) over the predictable February 14 where they jack up the prices of red roses til your fingers bleed from the thorns.

Anyway, here's an event for any good Filipino to show your love through food. Actually, you don't have to be Filipino, you just have to love food and maybe even poetry.

Along with adobo, I've heard rumors of various dishes that may be brought: lechon kawali, mongo, and laing. YUM!

For the Love of Adobo: Po(e)tluck and Literary Feast
Saturday February 14, 2004
1pm-4pm @ Pusod

In December 2003, blog writer, the Wily Filipino, called for an online adobo day asking as many people as possible to write a post about adobo.

As an extension of that melding of food and writing, join us for a potluck and literary affair. Please bring a Filipino dish (it doesn't have to be adobo) and/or literary piece (short story/poem) about or inspired by food to share. In the tradition of talk-story, we'll gather around the stove by steaming pots of food that will fuel our fingers to cook up new writing or new dishes.

Who knows, if you come up with something, you can stick around and try it out at the absolute best place to try out new material...Mango Mic!

To the herbs, smells, and flavors that spark our imaginations!
Also...a special announcement will be made a new anthology in the works...
