[ShareTompkins] news story about cooking coops

[arimoore]

Awesome, Aron!

Greg Rothman also emailed me - and Shira and I are into it as well. None of us three are family-oriented specifically but we can certainly make and enjoy family-size portions of yummy vegan food. :) Anyone else want to try something like this out...?

Peace
Ari

>> Yeah, I just joined http://www.kitchenswingers.com/ which is a local group that is free to join, but by doing so you have to commit to hosting a minimum of one dinner per month for a minimum of eight "swingers." You are allowed to have additional non-swingers there, as long as the eight-swinger minimum is met. Then you can ATTEND as many as two dinners each week. If you are a couple, you would have to host two dinners to fulfill the commitment, etc...
