Richmond's Second 100 Mile Potluck Scheduled for August 6th

On July 2, 2008 Progressive Richmond-Wayne County sponsored a 100 mile radius potluck. I'd tell you all about it, but I'd rather let the fun and inspiring video of the event speak for itself.

The group is planning a series of these suppers with the next one scheduled for August 6th at 6:30 p.m. Anna Lisa Gross, one of the event coordinators, says to "just show up" and bring a dish made with local food to share with the group. She asks that you bring your own utensils and plates. Children are welcome.

As you can see in the video, there was something delicious for everyone at this fun event including several meat and produce inspired dishes, in-season local berries with custard, and homemade ice cream. But one of the standout items, according to Anna Lisa, was Matt McKimmy's Squash Patties which were made with local squash, eggs, cheese, and onions. She said they disappeared almost as quickly as they were placed on the buffet table. Now that it's officially squash season in my garden, I'm going to have to try his recipe this weekend.

Anna Lisa said that everyone had a great time getting to know each other and learning a little bit more about the abundance of Indiana local food in and around the Richmond area.

Thanks for the link! The last 100-mile radius potluck was great, and I hope lots of folks come to the next one too!
