Since it's Feb, we're going with Love as the topic.  So read a book about love (of any kind), and bring a dish that you love, and please remember to also bring the recipe so we know the ingredients & can make copies.  Saleena will do a live demo/class of a recipe.   Remember, you can interpret this in any way you like; love for a parent, a job, a food, a pet, a significant other, yourself, or the planet (really, love of or for anything).  Registration will be suggested & will go up in Jan.  Come, eat, discuss & help us pick the next topic!  What do YOU geek out for?
