I was going to post my Nicky G’s review today, until my friend Jennifer from RADO sent this event to me. I’ll keep my Nicky G’s review for Monday.
The Climate Change Symposium at UNF, Saturday November 10, 2007 will discuss “How Should Jacksonville Adapt to Climate Change?” In addition to the all that talking crap there will be food! Here’s where it gets interesting:
Jacksonville Carbon Neutral Initiative is catering an all-local lunch. The menu is intense. It’s not even all vegetarian, believe it or not. Vegan chef Philip is making a beef stew (alongside a tempeh stew, and pecan crusted fried eggplant and an intensely awesome sounding coleslaw…) all from within 100miles except for the cooking oil and some of the eggs (which are all from Florida). I boiled ocean water to get local salt last night.
I’m not sure if there is a cost associated with the symposium/lunch. Yummm!
No sir, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the UNF Ethics Center, there’s no cost for attendees.
(there’s also no strawberries…but that’s a lovely photo!)
If we have any leftovers I’d like to take them to Fest for the Rest, but I don’t really know where it is, so someone should tell me.
Thanks Joey!

Jennifer - Hope it goes well! I’m at work all day so.. uhhh.. books! Actually, my storytime theme today was food.
I won’t be at either fest this evening, more like camping and kayaking down south. BUT, I emailed you a phone number for Crunk Manor directions.
All these house shows are crazy! I love Jacksonville. Good Idea House, Bad Idea House, Misdemeanor Manor, Crunk Manor.
for real? he boiled ocean water for the salt?
that is hard core. I usually just use my sweat drippings. THAT is local.
