March 2019 – Movie Night: Captain Fantastic

The March potluck was a return to our movie night as we screened the film Captain Fantastic. Captain Fantastic tells the story of a father devoted to raising his six kids with a rigorous physical and intellectual education being forced to leave his paradise and enter the world, beginning a journey that challenges his idea of what it means to be a parent. The film raises many themes which Weston A. Price members can relate to, such as living off the grid in the wilderness, foraging, hunting, and growing your own food, and homeschooling while living in a world that is capitalistic and consumeristic.

Our first chapter potluck of the new year was devoted to the festive holiday that occurs the beginning of every February known as Super Bowl Sunday. Growing up in Cleveland, I’ve been a lifelong Browns fan. This past year, the Browns finally showed some promise and could be Super Bowl material in the years to come. But despite not being in the playoffs for a long time now, I still always enjoy watching the Super Bowl no matter what team is in it.

September 2018 – 1st Annual WAPF Chili Cook-Off

I hosted our September potluck, which was our first annual chili cook-off. So many different things begin in September. And for me, one which I’m always excited about is football season. One of the most popular dishes to eat while watching your favorite team play is chili. So we decided to kick off a new tradition with a chili competition.

June 2018 – Hungarian Ethnic Night

About a year ago, I led an ethnic night on the topic of Jewish cooking. I did a follow up presentation for the June Weston A. Price Pasadena potluck on Hungarian cuisine. While I’m both culturally Jewish and Hungarian, leading the two nights couldn’t have been more different.
