Chinese Food and a Movie
Greetings from the Hazon Food Conference!!!
It’s erev Nitl Nacht. So what would be more appropriate for a gathering of 630 Jews from 29 states and 5 countries to do this evening than Chinese food and a movie!
Of course, Chinese food at a sustainable, crunchy food conference was a miso soup that had tofu and seaweed and a stir-fry with seasonal veggies and tofu. I really, REALLY don’t like tofu. But I must admit that the stir-fry was delicious. Extremely flavourful.
Movie options:
Food, Inc.
Vanishing of the Bees
The Garden
A Home on the Range: The Jewish Chicken Ranchers of Petaluma and “Song of a Jewish Cowboy”
Supersize Me: A Film of Epic Portions (Teens only)
What’s on Your Plate (Grades K-6)
Any guesses on which movie Frume Sarah viewed this evening????
Frume Sarah is Shabbos-observant -- in a Reform way, that is. Please note that from Friday afternoons until one hour after sundown on Saturday evenings, Frume Sarah will be unavailable, in observance of the Jewish Sabbath.
Comments made during this time will be held in a queue, to be moderated afterwards.
Thank you for your understanding...and gut Shabbos!!!

Aha! I knew when you described where you are going, it would be Hazon. If you meet David Rendsburg, you can tell him I say hello. I do work for his father.
I’m not big on tofu either, but this sounds good: “stir-fry with seasonal veggies”
I actually never had a chance to meet up with him. There were over 600 people here…
My guess: Petaluma. At least, that’s that’s what I would have selected!
Nope. Any other takers??
If they didn’t card you: What’s On Your Plate?
If carded: The Garden.
Nope to both! Though they looked good…
So it wasn’t Songs of a Jewish Cowboy? (Couldn’t tell if that is different from Petaluma).
I saw Avatar, but if I had been there, I probably would have seen the Bees.
I think that it was two different shorts.
Bees looked good…
Believe-it-or-not… I had never seen Food, Inc.. SO I grabbed the opportunity and it was a really heavy film. I came away wishing that the director had presented a nechemta — a source of comfort. Instead, I went back to my room really hungry…and felt bad about any potential food choice!
