A hot dance scene
From Eric Zorn's "Change of Subject" Tribune blog:
A hot dance scene: "
I was writing to a friend this morning trying to persuade her of the charms of English country dancing and I found this illustrative clip from the 2009 adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Emma.' You may not find this as enticing as I do, but check it out:

Received from Leslie in Columbus:
Please spread the word to your folk dance group about the Columbus
(Ohio) Folk Dancers' end-of-February workshop. I don't reallly expect
anyone to come from that far away, but I figure it can't hurt to let
people know -- e-mail's cheap!
Dates: February 25-27, 2011. Teacher: Lee Otterholt. Theme: "Balkan
and Beyond" (mostly Balkan, probably including Greek, Romanian and
Albanian).

Sad News: Ellen Johnson
We're very sad to convey the news of Ellen Johnson's sudden passing. She had a stroke (the first notice we received said heart attack) on the airplane while flying to Southeast Asia on vacation Dec. 28, two days after her 69th birthday. The plane delivered her to Vladivostok, made an emergency landing Russia. One of her sons was able to fly there to be with her before she died in the hospital in Khabarovsk (Siberia) on Jan. 2, 2011, without regaining consciousness.
Ellen danced with us for many years, and will be sorely missed.
There will be a memorial service on Saturday, January 22, 2011, at 2:00pm, at the Dupage Unitarian Universalist Church, 4 S 535 Old Naperville Rd, Naperville, IL 60563.

Potluck recipe - Spicy Chickpea Potato Stew
Mike asked about recipes from the dishes at the New Years Day Potluck. Here's the recipe for the Spicy Chickpea Potato stew we brought. Clipped out of the Chicago Tribune (I think) many years ago.
