A grassroots group that has its genesis in a book discussion group at Calvert Library, Calvert Eats Local continues to grow each month with more and more people jumping on the local food bandwagon.  Or maybe the membership grows because each quarter’s potluck includes such an astounding array of delicious food.  The last event included eggrolls, pickled beets, homemade bread, quiche, scalloped turnips, sweet potato pie with whipped cream, marinated mixed bean salad, marinated beef strips, gumbo…all of which featured or consisted entirely of local raised ingredients.

 

The members have decided to start storming local restaurants as well.  On Monday, November 21, the group will convene at Dream Weaver Café in Prince Frederick.  Reservations are strongly advised and must be “made and paid” in advance at any Calvert Library location.  The price is $26 per person which includes everything except the wine which is BYOLB (bring your own local bottle).  The menu will be based on ingredients that Trish Weaver will source locally.  She expects to include rockfish in an herb butter sauce, homemade meatloaf, spinach quiche, mashed or sweet potatoes, winter squash, a greens or beet dish, rolls or muffins and an apple-based dessert.  Weaver said of the event, “We were excited to give this a try.  We’ve been sourcing a lot of our produce and meat locally anyway so it isn’t too much of a stretch.  It’s nice that this group of foodies will be flexible about the menu so that I can really take advantage of the most local ingredients.”
