In last month’s Delicious newsletter, I included a link to a fabulous event called Feast of Words. Feast of Words is a night hosted by SOMArts that brings together those that love writing and those that love food. The night looks something like this: a theme is announced in advance. A featured writer reads work that is related to that theme. A featured chef shares a delicious dish that is also related to the theme. The “audience” brings potluck items to supplement the chef’s main course. And then the featured writer takes the whole group through a writing activity. Everyone eats, then everyone writes. Could it get any better?
July’s event was indeed fantastic! The theme was “deconstructed,” so I brought apple pie parts (crusts, apple filling, powdered sugar) and encouraged folks to “construct” their own pie. Here are some pictures of the event:

Also, my mini-pies were mentioned in the SOMArts e-blast! “…Caroline Chen from SFWeekly penned a great article about last week’s Feast of Words: A Literary Potluck, where a full house of potluck contributors shared creative dishes like “deconstructed” apple pie and their on-the-spot writing to win tickets to an August 18th Litquake event featuring Dennis Lehane….”
