Bread & Butter is no longer a “formal” event like we did June 2023 to February 2024!

We now do a quiet and welcoming potluck from 6-7pm on 2nd Saturdays!

Bring a dish to share! Contact Deva for details on the what to bring!

Practi*Longa is now the only paying-in portion of our 2nd Saturday evenings ($15)

Archives from the official Bread & Butter days… June 2023 to February 2024

Bread & Butter in 2023 was a fulfilling experiment with several iterations.

Learned a lot, laughed a lot… cooked a lot!

2024 (after January Capricorn-i-copia) will see an easier time.

Catered food supporting local and small business. Occasional classes, guest artists, live music, etc.

RSVP a seat at the Table*

Please RSVP so we can manage (shop, cook, prepare) our as-local, as-organic gourmet and seasonal Menu. * The Practi*longa is a separate event with its own separate entry fee.

How to Reserve at Seat at The Bread & Butter Table:

#1 Look for an email 7-10 days before the event.

#2 Let me know before noon on the Thursday before the event! you can do so by email, text or tell me at class you wish to come

#3 Reserve for sure your seat at the table:

  • Before event: $20 RSVP holds your seat and allows us to get the best ingredients we can find. You can confirm reservation by cash in class or via Zelle (cell in footer), Venmo (@Graham-Stanford-1), PayPal (grahamstanford@mac.com).

  • If you RSVP beforehand and ante-in the $20 then the Practi*Longa is reduced to only $10. You can also pay $30 right from the getgo for a whole evening of fine food, drink, friends, ronda skills and dancing

$15 for the Practilonga is separate from Bread & Butter

“CAN I HELP WITH THE COOKING?”

As of mid-January 2024, Bread & Butter is no longer a cook fest in my kitchen. For many reasons.

But the best reason is to support local businesses, support local people… which is why it is now a catered event!

I’ll still make a vegan soup and the gluten-free loaves of bread

“WHY IS THIS NOT A POTLUCK ANYMORE?”

Time and Liability (Insurance sucks).

This way we’ll have more time to dance and time for lively conversation.

“CAN I STILL BRING MY OWN DISH?”

If you’d like to bake a dessert or make a dish, please contact me. It will have to be just out of the kindness of your heart.

Or if you have an idea for a beverage to share, let me know!

Bread & Butter is designed to be wholesome & fulfilling.

Sharing good food, good vibes, and experience is the best path to learn and build long-lasting friendships.

When we are dancing we rarely have time to actually socialize. This gathering is time for that, separate and before the dancing begins.
