Butterfest '09

There are few things more worthy of celebration than butter. This creme de la creme of fat is one life's greatest pleasures and for many people a crucial part of holiday celebration. This year, in honor of butter, we're hosting our first annual Butterfest - an extravaganza of all things butter! The soire will include:

- a demonstration on how to make simple cultured butter from scratch by DIY cookbook author Vanessa Barrington (http://vanessabarrington.typepad.com)
- a blind tasting of 7+ brands of butter with awards given to the top three spreads
- a butter-centric potluck - please bring a dish to share that includes butter as one of the main ingredients
- "Like Buttah!" An informal, soap-box style sharing of any and all butter stories, poems, odes, memories, and tales. After all, everyone has a butter story, right?

$10 members, each person who brings a dish for the potluck, or each person who shares a butter story;
$15 general

Note: This event was not originally a ticketed event, but due to the enthusiastic response and our jewel-box sized space we have chosen to make it ticketed.
