Join MrFancyMan to learn the basics of sourdough and leave with your own starter! --- Sourdough Baker Neal Crosson-Hill of MrFancyMan will facilitate a beginner's course where attendees will learn to create and maintain a sourdough starter. We will begin with flour selection and learn to promote a healthy environment for the culture. You'll experience feeding and maintenance hands-on while discussing common mistakes and necessary corrections to promote the long-term health of the starter. Discussion will also include proper terms and definitions, finding the best method for your baking schedule, creating a backup starter, and how to prepare for the next bake day. Attendees can expect to receive a small amount of starter, feed it during class, and take home their freshly fed starter. You will also receive two recipes that use the starter for flavor in conventional recipes.

Join us for a discussion of Two Old Women. Bring food related to the book to share. --- Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along for many generations from mothers to daughters of the upper Yukon River Valley in Alaska, this is the suspenseful, shocking, ultimately inspirational tale of two old women abandoned by their tribe during a brutal winter famine. Though these women have been known to complain more than contribute, they now must either survive on their own or die trying. In simple but vivid detail, Wallis depicts a landscape and way of life that are at once merciless and starkly beautiful. In her old women, she has created two heroines of steely determination whose story of betrayal, friendship, community, and forgiveness "speaks straight to the heart with clarity, sweetness, and wisdom" (Ursula K. Le Guin).

Join us on the second Wednesday each month to discuss a fantasy or science fiction book! --- This month's title is Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. From the New York Times bestselling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an intoxicating, hypnotic new novel set in a dreamlike alternative reality. Piranesi's house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house. There is one other person in the house-a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known. For readers of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Piranesi introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds

While wandering the woods alone, she finds and secretly befriends a mysterious old dragon named Brim. Alice is excited to finally have a dragon friend of her own, but when Brim suddenly falls ill, Alice must set out on a desperate quest to save him.
