I'm switching gears from Japan back to Michigan for just a moment to share news about an upcoming event for a small organization that I think does great work.
The Raisin Valley Land Trust is hosting their annual ski outing and potluck on Saturday, January 30th. Traditionally, there's super-duper chilli, homemade hummous and tabouli to die for, and a great group of people to spend an afternoon with. Details below on how to get yourself there, and eat just a wee bit extra for me! (Trust me. It won't be difficult to comply with that request.)
