CHEW meeting – June 2nd

Culinary History Enthusiasts of Wisconsin (CHEW) http://www.wisconsincooks.org/chew

Next Meeting Wednesday, June 2, 2010 7:15 PM

“Members & Friends Share Evening!”
For the June 2 CHEW meeting we’re trying something new, a “Members & Friends Share Evening!”  A glitch in the CHEW speaker schedule leaves us with an open evening so we’ll try something we’ve talked about for some time, an evening for all members and friends of CHEW to share – share a food story, a recipe, a memory, a favorite cookbook or food book.  Do you have someone in your life that was important in developing your interest things culinary – cooking, eating, food history or lore?  Is there a special food book or cookbook – a traditional recipe book from your childhood, a contemporary food or food history book that you find fascinating, a book you think hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves?  Do you have a recipe important to you – a nostalgic “throwback” dish, a food that has special meaning to you (ethnic, religious, personal), a food hate or phobia, a recipe or food you want to know more about or wonder if others are familiar with?  Is there a food newsletter, periodical, website or blog that you find yourself going back to again and again?  Do you have a special food gadget, pot, pan or utensil you’d like to show – or find out more about?  In other words, CHEW’s first show & tell!

In addition to sharing your stories please feel free to share a dish!  The only thing better than a wonderful food story or memory is sharing the food that goes along with it.  (We’ll try to make sure we have access to the kitchen that evening if you need the frig or stove.)  Not a cook?  Come anyway – there will be plenty of stories and food to share.

This meeting is open to anyone who eats so bring you stories, books, gadgets, recipes (more than one if you’d like) and dishes to CHEW.

Meeting Venue: Goodman Atwood Community Center, Bolz Room A; 149 Waubesa Street, Madison 53704; 608-241-1574.
***Coming to the CHEW meeting?  Why not bring a nonperishable food item to donate to the Goodman Center food pantry!  The Center is giving out food as fast as it can take it in and the need has never been greater.  Items needed: tuna, beans, shelf-stable milk, juice, canned fruits & vegetables, macaroni & cheese, peanut butter, cereal, infant formula, baby food, diapers, soup (not tomato), rice, can openers. Financial donations also welcome.

Celebrate South Madison Festival

Candidates for 2011 SFUW Leadership Board

Hello All,

Below are the candidates for leader positions in SFUW next year. Don’t forget to VOTE by Monday!

Communications Director

Victoria Rumble

I am currently finishing up my junior year at University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a major in Marketing and a focus on psychological research. My interests cover a much larger span than my studies, however, which has led to my interest in Slow Food.  I am in the process of completing the Slow Food South Madison internship, for which I helped promote the agricultural economy of South Madison and took part in planning an exciting event for this summer. Throughout the semester, I have been closely involved with Slow Food by attending weekly meetings and the Family Dinner Nights. I would like to continue my involvement with the organization because it has enormous potential and is centered on one of the strongest movements of today’s society: promoting sustainable agriculture. Bringing UW-Madison students together in celebration of food is the perfect way to increase awareness and promote good health throughout campus, and I would like to stay as involved as possible.

My strengths lie in my ability to communicate. I have been involved with a diverse mix of organizations and activities (such as radio, piano performance, soccer, and the newspaper), and have become accustomed to effectively communicating with many different “types” of people. If elected to Communications Director, I will remain invested and offer my input on the numerous facets of Slow Food-UW, and also work to make the attendees of Family Dinner Nights feel comfortable within a more cohesive community.

Ruth Young

Ruth Young, Junior majoring in English and Environmental Studies

I have been an active member of Slow Food since fall 2009. This past semester, I was the intern for the Farm to University Project and had the opportunity to not only increase my involvement with Slow Food-UW, but to see how its initiatives fit into the larger campus and city-wide communities. Through this internship I realized the success of Slow Food-UW and the sustainable movement as a whole is largely about increasing awareness of the issues this group embodies. Filling the position of Communications Coordinator would be a great opportunity to begin to apply those lessons more directly to Slow Food-UW, and to help our local movement grow. I will bring to the position a dedication to the group’s missions, and eagerness to learn more, an open mind, and, of course, an empty stomach.

Financial Chair

Toni Kaiser

My name is Toni Kaiser and I am a junior pursing the Environmental Studies Certificate in conjunction with my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education.  I hope to use my knowledge and insight from the certificate program to advocate for more healthy and local foods to be served in our public schools.  This desire has brought me in contact with the Slow Food movement.  I began attending dinners this year and have enjoyed the meals and camaraderie at these weekly gatherings.

I would like to run for election for the Financial Chair Position for Slow Foods.  I feel that I not only possess the experience necessary to apply for this position, but also see it as a great opportunity for preparing and enhancing my future grant writing abilities, as both an educator and environmental advocate.

Here is some of my previous experience:

• In high school I was selected for a Youth Apprenticeship Program in Finance. This entailed me taking business math classes at the local college, as well as being employed by a bank.  I had three years of experience at this financial institution.
• I then went on to pursue an Associates Degree in Marketing. While a student, I joined the Wisconsin Marketing & Management Association and was elected the treasurer of the organization my first year, and president my second year. My duties as treasurer in this previous organization included many of the same tasks that would be expected of me in the Slow Foods position.
• After receiving my degree in Marketing, I went on to manage a locally owned restaurant. I became very familiar with the financial and human resource aspects of the food industry through this experience.

Thank you for your consideration,

Toni Kaiser

Brandon Kenney

My name is Brandon Kenney; I am an Agriculture and Applied Economics major with a specific focus in international agriculture and natural resources. As of this semester I have been responsible for the maintenance of Slow Food UW’s social media by operating our twitter account. I have been involved with Slow Food UW since my freshman year when dinners where originally held in the basement of the School of Human Ecology. It has been exciting to be a part of Slow Food for as long as I have; I have had the distinct pleasure of watching our institution flourish and develop into a prominent leader of the campaign for sustainable agriculture on campus. As the financial chair I would ensure that we are able to continue to provide the locally sourced food that we have become associated with around campus. The most important part of this provision is our ability to continue to supply this food at prices that are within the financial means of the average member of the student population. Our mission of providing good, clean and fair food must also include the goal of affordability and as financial chair I would guarantee our continued ability to do so. As I previously acknowledged, our organization has seen substantial growth. We must meet this growth with the proper accommodations, whether this means acquiring increased funding from grants or intensified forecasting. I thank you in advance for your consideration in this election.

Co-Directors (2)

Jen Bloesch

Year and Major: Next semester I will be a junior in Community and Environmental Sociology and Communication Arts.

I am proud to say that I have been a part of Slow Food UW for over a year now. Last semester I was the Farm to University intern, in which I kick-started the local breakfasts and dinners at Rheta’s Dining Hall. In addition to my internship, I have served as Communications Manager for two semesters. My interest in sustainable agriculture began just before I entered into college, and Slow Food UW has been one of the best experiences I could have asked for as a college student. I believe in the vision of Slow Food UW, and am particularly excited about its projects, which is why I am interested in the position of co-director. I feel that Slow Food UW and the Madison community have given me so much, and it is my responsibility and my desire to give back. I believe that one of the best ways to do that is by leading Slow Food UW into the future. As co-director, I will work find a unified system of membership, while also increase dialogue between the interns and their projects. I hope to discover a voice for Slow Food UW that everyone can feel connected to and a part of. I guide my life by my love for people and the environment, and therefore I will bring passion and commitment to this organization. I am simultaneously down-to-earth and visionary, and I would love to share my enthusiasm for food and culture with everyone!

Brian Hedberg

My name is Brian Hedberg, and this fall I will be a senior majoring in Community and Environmental Sociology. I have attended dinners for a year, and this past semester I was one of the Family Dinner Night interns, responsible for the coordination and execution of FDNs. My experience as the FDN intern is what drove me to apply for Co-Directorship. FDNs are the heart of Slow Food UW, and I believe that the knowledge and connections I gained during my internship will be both invaluable and easily transferable to the Co-Director position. In addition, I have worked with the current Co-Director, Danny Spitzberg, throughout the semester to write weekly dinner reviews for the Slow Food USA website.

What I offer to the position is devotion, experience, and that extra something. I am 101% devoted to Slow Food UW and its mission. I have seen how the organization is run from the inside; I am aware of all intern responsibilities, and I already have experience with some of the Co-Director’s responsibilities. Finally, I am a friendly guy, and I excel at communicating internally and with others outside the organization.

“Stick with me, and you will never go hungry again!” -Scar, The Lion King   Vote Brian! Woo!

Danny Spitzberg

I enrolled in a Master’s program at UW-Madison in January of 2009. My academic work revolves around the sociology of philanthropy and science funding. Before coming to Madison, I lived Montreal for many years, where the cafe culture lives year-round and where people defeat the winter by snowshoeing to make dinner together. Once in Madison, I found out about Slow Food UW as an environmental studies TA with Genya Erling, founder of SFUW. The mission of re-orienting the campus food system to sustain itself on “good, clean, fair food” was irresistible to me. I became the Co-Leader during 2009-2010 and served as the Cafe Committee coordinator. During that time, my largest responsibility was leading three research projects with students in the School of Business to improve Family Dinner Night and bridge to the (forthcoming!) Slow Food café. Working with the rest of the team, I also helped develop Slow Food UW’s mission and integrate the internships and committees more centrally into the leadership structure.

Next year, my ambition is to launch a broader campaign for Slow Food UW and grow partnerships with other organizations on campus. What I look forward to most, however, is working alongside so many ambitious and talented leaders. Go Big Red Snail!

Election Time!

Dear Slow Fooders,

What an exciting year of watching Family Dinner Nights grow from an average 40 people to sometimes above 140 Slow Food lovers, trips to local farms to tap maple, happy and sad foodie movies, new South Madison farmer and community friends, Slow Food meals at Rheta’s and tasty Come to the Table Dinners!!
