Seattle Events: Will Bake for Food is this Saturday!

Tres_leches1studio-2

A bite of The Chocolate Tres Leches I'm baking for "Will Bake for Food".

Of all the events I will have attended this year in Seattle, this is the one I'm looking forward to the most.  

 Organized by The Jennys, two friends and Seattle-based bloggers, it began as an idea that developed into a fun, large event.  A fair amount of bloggers will put their culinary skills to work on Saturday, November 20th.  It promises to be a morning and afternoon of sweet and savory delights ranging from gluten-free to fully loaded treats.

Jenny Miller is the pen and heart behind Rainy Day Gal (@rainydaygal1). Jenny Richards is the charming chica behind Purple House Dirt (@purplehousedirt).

The wonderful cause this event will benefit is Nortwest Harvest, Washington's statewide hunger relief agency. Read here for more information about how this event will impact their work.

The beautiful ladies organizing Will Bake for Food put together a list of useful information you will need to get to us!

If you are in Seattle, you are invited to "Arroz con Mango"!

Arroz_con_mango_postcard
For Cubans, Arroz con Mango (rice with mango), translates into "what a mess."  For Venezuelans, it's more about mixing this and that and putting it all together.  We use it mostly to talk about gatherings where you invite everyone you know, no matter how different they are. It usually ends up being a phenomenal experience.

I am framing all of the prints I have and putting them out for this show.  No theme or series in particular, just an Arroz con Mango with work I have done in the past seven years.  All the prints will be for sale. 

I am closing a chapter of my professional life by leaving SoDo and looking into moving the Studio to another neighborhood.  Come celebrate with me in my last show at the Orange Door Studios lobby gallery. 

The address is 1941 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134 (same building where Macrina SoDo is located).  The show will go from 6-9pm.

Nibbles/Drink/Music will be provided.  One print will be part of a silent auction that will benefit Aver School, the non-profit organization I work for.
