If, like me, you're all about the food, and consider the kitchen to be the center of the home, you'll want to stop in at some of these "foodie" events in Central Texas in late November and December.

Hairson Creek Farm's Annual Open Farm and Potluck.  Farm Tour, Music (bring your own instrument), food (bring a potluck dish). Saturday, November 15.

The Austin Empty Bowl Project. Help raise funds for the Austin Area Food Bank's Kids Cafe Program while enjoying good soup and purchasing beautiful bowls, for yourself or for Christmas presents.  We still use the ones we bought many years ago at the first event.  Well worth attending. Saturday, November 23.

Edible Austin Eat Local Week. Eat local, support your purveyors of local foods, and raise funds for Urban Roots, to boot!  Sunday, December 6-13.

Keep in mind that just about every event in Austin and Central Texas does have food involved in some way; it's just the way things are done here!
