<br /></div>
<div>
Several cooks got together in a couple of kitchens to prepare the meal, and then we re-grouped, with some additional eaters, to enjoy an incredible feast which, since we did all the work ourselves, was emininently affordable.</div>

The March Slow Supper will be held on Saturday March 1st, and we're making a feast! We've chosen recipes from <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/dining/jerusalem-has-all-the-right-ingredients.html">Jerusalem</a>, the wildly popular cookbook that many of us have come to love. Many of the ingredients for our meal are coming from the <a href="http://www.toledofarmersmarket.com/">Toledo Farmers Market</a> and the <a href="http://www.phoenixearthfoodco-op.com/">Phoenix Earth Food Co-op</a>, so we're looking forward to a meal that is good, clean, and fair! <br />
<br />
This meal is by reservation only, and priority will be given to members. For more information or to check availability, e-mail us: sfmv@ameritech.net . The cost of ingredients will be shared, and non-members will pay a small surcharge. </div>

This year, our annual <b>Soup Supper</b> will be Monday January 13th at 5:30. We'll get together at <b>My Brother's Place at Trinity Episcopal Church</b>, 316 Adams in downtown Toledo. This will be a pot luck gathering, with no charge for members and a small fee for guests. Mark your calendars now and begin thinking about what you'll bring: We suggest soup or something that goes with soup.
We're planning an exciting schedule of events for 2014, so now is a good time to <a href="http://www.slowfoodusa.org/">join or renew your membership</a>. Do you know someone who's interested in being part of our global, grassroots organization with more than 150,000 members and 2,000 food communities throughout 150+ countries? A <a href="http:http://www.slowfoodusa.org">membership in Slow Food</a> would be a great holiday gift!

Are local eggs healthier? Boardley, from UT's Public Health Dept, says knowing how your eggs are produced can reduce risk of contamination. She also urges eaters to enjoy the yolk, the source of most of the egg's nutrients.

What makes eggs from pastured hens so yellow? That's one of the questions Liz Bergman addressed at SFMV's Eggceptional Event. Bergman, of Sage Organics, provided info from the point of view of the farmer and some insights from her past role as a history student.
