Jack and I went to the Empty Bowl fundraiser for Empowerment House yesterday.
It's pretty cool - they give you a time to come in (so the place doesn't get too crowded). After you check in, you walk through a loooooong set of tables filled with bowls that different local potters have designed and pick out a bowl - they said that to start at table one, but that you'd probably be exchanging a bowl for different ones as you walked down the tables (true - I exchanged about 6 times, even though Jack said I could use his bowl pick). Once you did that, they wrapped your bowl, and it was off to soup!
And oh man, they had some good soup! Lots of downtown places came with their best soups. Sammy T's tomato basil wasn't bad, but the 2400 Diner's creamy chicken and rice totally hit the spot! And they had tons of desserts too.
And best of all, I WON A RAFFLE PRIZE! Gift certificate for a facial - yay!
There were a lot of people there when we were, and we were the final time slot (2:30). It looks like it was a very successful fundraiser for them, which makes me happy.
I got a super cool snake bowl - I'll take a picture after I wash it - it held dinner last night
