Know Your Spices, a game presented by Paul Bailey Savory Spices, will be a highlight. Prizes will be awarded to those with the “spiciest” knowledge.

Pot luck dinner begins at 6 p.m., and be sure to bring your own (reusable) utensils. Drinks may be purchased. Presentation and lecture begins at 7 p.m. A $5 donation is suggested but not required.

Food from the Ancestors, Part Two: Reclaiming Our Food Heritage, on Feb. 13, will focus on a local angle. The “global food crisis” will be discussed, as well as ways you can help provide some remedies. Willow LaMonte will share ideas about growing your own food. She will also discuss being environmentally cautious about the use of cardboard, paper and plastic in the garden.
