Potluck #V, as in Valentine's Day. It's another CHOCOLATE POTLUCK!!! [more inside]

Potluck! [more inside]

From Wikipedia: To the Irish, a potluck was a meal with no particular menu. Everyone participating brought a dish for all to share. The term comes from a time when groups of Irish women would gather together and cook dinner. They only had one pot so they cooked the meal together with whatever ingredients they happened to have that day.[citation needed] [more inside]

We're spending the day at the Chocolate Fest! [more inside]

In the spirit of today's seriously crappy weather, I thought I'd take this moment to invite you to the very last possible Goat-Frog First Wednesday ever. The Goat endures, but the Frog closes mid-January. [more inside]

Hey California Mefites, I'm visiting your neck of the woods again! What's doing the week leading up to New Years? Let's meet at Trouble Coffee on Wednesday afternoon? [more inside]

Feng Mao Lamb Kebab looks like the type of place that would really be best experienced in a large group. Never been there, but best as I can tell it's a place where you order dim sum to be delivered to the table to eat, while you roast lamb (and other) kebabs over little charcoal troughs. Anyone interested or am I going to have to do this alone? [more inside]

Friends, it looks like we have not had a single meetup in New Mexico for the calendar year of 2015. Let's put an end to this dry spell! Plans? None. Ideas? Plenty! Round 1 set, plans laid out for rounds 2 and 3! [more inside]

I'm a prodigal MeFite, in town for a bit of time, and wanted to see if any MeFites lived here these days. ***~~UPDATE~~*** MeFites do live here, so I'm confirming location and time of meetup. [more inside]

Now at the Ginger Man, 6pm Tuesday the 29th.
Scratch that, The Archive has seats.
I'm free from now until the 1st or so, I'm a train ride away from the city (out here in Connecticut), do we want to get drinks somewhere in midtown next week?

So I'm not working Christmas Eve Day and we're not going anywhere for the holiday and we didn't get an official trip to the Blue Frog earlier this month, so now this is happening. [more inside]

Hey! So, this is a little late, possibly too late, but Metroid Baby and I will be in Durham next week, and we'd love to meet some of you! [more inside]

Freed from my Borg duties (with thanks to my alternate captain, capricorn) I'm back to welcome you to Star Trek Happy Hour! This week, the crew picks up the pieces in "Family" and has many heartwarming and aggravating moments reunited with their loved ones. How appropriate for the holidays... [more inside]

Five years ago we had a celebratory/commiseration brunch to celebrate the end of the MIT Mystery Hunt on MLK Monday. I had fun meeting a bunch of MeFites, and I'd like to do it again now that I'm coming back on-site! Who's available, who are you representing, what are the good eateries for a brunch/lunch around MIT, and what do you have in the Coin Pool? (I claim 40 hours) [more inside]

Every cuisine in the world seems to have its own spice mix or mixes. I figure if we all get together and everyone brings a few spices, we could make a lot more spice mixes than if we each mixed them at home, and everyone could take home some of each variety. Here's a few common ones for a starting point. Let's get together and make some of them! [more inside]

Let's plan our January movie club outing. [more inside]

Hey all. I know there aren't many of us here in snowy Utah, but I thought it might be nice to have a board game night. It could be potluck style or we could get dinner or order in. I'm open to any ideas, as long as drinking and games are involved I'm in. I can host, I have a pretty big living area, a nice dog, and a ton of games, or maybe someone more central located might want to volunteer. Who's in?

*****EVENT CANCELLED***** Last Wednesday was my birthday, and I'd like to see MeFite buddies - old or new, acquaintance or friend, prodigal son or one of the regulars - all are welcome! [more inside]
