Café Gutenberg (1700 E. Main Street) will host a free demonstration on solar baking on Monday, November 15, from 5pm to 7pm. Solar baking utilizes nature to help keep your kitchen cool and reduce utility bills.
Author, artist and Food Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry will demonstrate how to prepare solar baked goods and give a presentation about the history and principles of Food Not Bombs and their global campaign. The presentation will be followed by a 15-minute video about Food Not Bombs in Africa.
Organizers hope to educate on how community members can share meals and groceries, support nonviolent direct actions, and work towards implementing a sustainable future. Donations will be accepted by local and international FNB groups.

Solar cooking is fun and easy.
I would like to see more of it.
I use a Sportster model oven.

Its also good to see McHenry coming to town. I just hope by then we will have some better answers to the Monroe Park controversy.

Nice segue Scott.
Actually, I’m surprised McHenry isn’t here specifically to talk about the difficulty that Food Not Bombs has had serving free meals all over the country. He’s been arrested many times just for handing out free food. Though, the Monroe Park situation is a different story, a lot of the same attitudes are at play. I suggest anyone interested in that topic attend this event and Keith will surely make time for a discussion.
