REAL Fwd: LIK LISA MIstresschef invitation Sun 22 August

LIK LISA Mistresschef 2010

Back by popular demand!

Local lesbians from Kiama and Shoalhaven will gather again for a home cooking bonanza where cakes and scones, ganesh, soufflé, consome, and other luscious goodies will be dished and doshed around the kitchen.

Once again, LIK (Lesbians In Kiama) and LISA (Lesbians In Shoalhaven Area) will co-host the LIK LISA MistressChef event at Rose Valley on Sunday August 22^nd, 12 noon to 5 pm.

Last year the judges were dazzled by Eunice Koogan's international delicacies and improvised aplomb, and she emotionally received the LIK LISA Mistresschef award saying,"I've never won anything like this before!"

Now Eunice is back as the special guest judge of this year's Mistresschef. In addition to being a qualified scuba diving instructor, Eunice has been working in the food industry since the age of 12 when she began peeling potatoes in a fish and chip shop. Earlier she made her first tart at the age of 6! Having cooked for 3 prime ministers, she is looking forward to tasting the delicacies that LIK LISA lesbians will serve up this year.

To join the fun

1. Call and register as a contestant or a guest

2. Cook and bring your dish for entry into 1 of 3 categories:

a) CWA Bake off

b) International or

c) Fusion

3. Or, come as a guest to watch and eat

All contestants and judges bring an ingredient to donate for the cook off.

6 finalists will cook-off after lunch, using the mystery ingredient of the day!

Prizes, surprises, new activities and fun for all. Join in, taste and try, and see last year's footage too.

Be there or be hungry!

REAL FW: Next Bush Lemons Calendar (Aug - Nov)

Hi all

Attached is the next Bush Lemons calendar which runs from August to November this year. There are a couple of non-walking things that are included (a fundraising garage sale, Oxfam Trailwalker) but I thought you'd appreciate knowing about them in advance.

There are also a couple of walks in August and September which cover the first 2 sections of the Trek for Timor walk on 18 September. So if you are planning on doing that event, these walks will be of assistance, plus are just very nice walks to do in any event. We also have our next combined camping weekend in November - when its warmed up! This camp will be at Dunns Swamp, a couple of hours from the mountains. If you haven't been to this camping spot yet, then you are in for a real treat as its just one of the most beautiful places to visit, and no swamp in sight! Many thanks to Raewyn, Ilsa and Sharron who are also putting walks on the calendar. I haven't put on an overnight walk which I was hoping to do, but I may do this as a more spontaneous thing to the group when I know I have some spare time over the next few months.

Don't forget that our Oxfam Fundraising dinner is not far away. We do need you to book ASAP so we'll have an idea of numbers. The evening will be fun and and we are planning on having long, communal tables so it will be social and inclusive. We have the Rhodo Lodge, which is set in the rhodo gardens, for the evening and its a lovely building with a verandah that overlooks the gardens too. Not only will you have an enjoyable evening, but you'll also be supporting Bush Lemons and helping us raise funds for Oxfam Australia.

Cheers

Jocelyn
