Event details
The next meeting of Alamo Celiac, GIG® in Austin is scheduled for Wednesday July 19, 2006 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Cambridge Towers, 1801 Lavaca. Parking is available on the street and is free in the State lots and Bob Bullock Museum after 6 p.m.
This meeting is our annual pot luck dinner. Please bring a gluten free dish to share. It is important that included with each dish is a listing of ingredients. Some of our members need to avoid more than just gluten. If the recipe is either original or has been changed at least 3 times, please bring the recipe. We can publish these recipes in the recipe exchange section of our monthly newsletter.
In addition to the dinner we will have presentations and samples from two local vendors. Shannon Whitney, from Healthy Spoonfuls, will provide a presentation relevant to the nutritional needs of celiacs, along with an explanation of Healthy Spoonful's investigation of and decision for getting into the gluten-free market. Shannon is a registered and licensed dietician with several years of experience in the restaurant field. Samples of some of the Healthy Spoonfuls entrees will be provided.
Also, Lauren Jordan of Capitol City Soups, will be providing free samples of her gluten-free soups. Lauren is not sure at this point if she will be able to come to the meeting, however she will definitely be providing samples.
Dru Edrington will bring a case of Ramapo beer for those who wish to take home a sample.
