Everyone involved in alternative pathways and wellness in Wilmington, knows the fine work and dedication that Pat Delair has devoted to our community, creating more awareness in our society about organic foods and healthy eating.
This past Wednesday, a like-minded group, experienced another EarthSave meeting, along with a pot luck dinner, consisting of vegan, vegetarian or raw dishes at their downtown office, at 411 Chestnut Street. Sumptuous salads, homemade breads, legumes and quinoa, were just part of the delicacies brought and enjoyed by all participants.
Too many choices...
Pot luck, and plenty of it...
Francine DeCoursey, a local film producer, proposing the "fiesta"...
As most are aware, Pat is undergoing chemotherapy and was unable to attend the EarthSave meeting last month. Due to the enormous out of pocket expense ($16,000 in January), friends and supporters will be having a "Fiesta" on March 28th at the old Water Street Restaurant, now "Mixto Contemporary Latin Restaurant", from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Besides the party, memberships to EarthSave are encouraged, to ensure its continuation in the Wilmington area.
Presently, Pat is currently funding the extra memberships to maintain its presence at EarthSave.
Pat Delair is part of the Steering Committee of the Integrative Healing Forum of Wilmington, a group dedicated to alternative healing and its offshoots. The IHF supports Pat with her EarthSave endeavors and her present illness.
Plenty of food for all...
Ancient art of eating and listening at the same time...
Can still taste the flavors, the day after...
Plates just aren't big enough...
And more discussions...
After dinner we enjoyed a lecture from Margaret Shelton, owner and operator of Shelton Herb Farm (if you haven't been out to the farm, you are missing a real treat!)
Margaret shared information on planting micro greens. Super nutritious and delicious, micro greens are a great addition to any meal
She also brought along lettuce bowls, which is a great way to grow lettuces in very little space without the muss and fuss of being out in the garden in the winter.
Attentive and gastronomically satisfied audience...
We learned that if we get a freeze, just cover them or bring them inside overnight
So this last Wednesday we enjoyed a great meal and a great demonstration.
Come join us monthly for stimulating and organically educating lectures and palate surprising cuisine!
