I'd love to do a cooking workshop where someone walks me through some of those tasty ESS menu items - especialy the amazing salads? I'm thinking in particular of the brown rice and seasme one. If we got the shopping list ahead of time, we could all aqcuire/scrounge the ingredients and then cook it together! (But I'd rather not make enough for 80 people, so someone would need to cut down the recipe for household-sized quantities)

I have a sewing machine and nothing (NOTHING) else. No thread, no needles, no fabric, no knowledge. Can somebody get me started on repairing clothes or some other simple sewing-machine task?

If you have a permaculture-ish home garden in a somewhat limited space, I'd love to learn from you! I'm interested in growing food at home, where I have a little but mighty backyard, while supporting biodiversity and minimizing labor, artificial watering, artificial fertilizer, and pesticides. That sounds like "permaculture" to me, but for experts I imagine the term has a more restricted meaning. Hence "permaculture-ish". ;)
