SUMMARY:America's First Cookbook and Purchase of New Milford's Cookbook
DESCRIPTION:America’s First Cookbook was called American Cookery and by a young country author who created a culinary upheaval. Self-published in 1796 but backed by prominent Federalist politicians\, American Cookery is considered a culinary milestone in American history. It was penned by the enigmatic American orphan Amelia Simmons. The groundbreaking 13-edition cookbook has an enduring legacy that has shaped the course of American cuisine over the centuries. \nStep back in time with us to explore the rich tapestry of the nation’s cookbook\, written by an American with American recipes. It showcases instructions from early American cuisine\, a melting pot of European traditions\, Native American ingredients\, and innovative cooking techniques. American Cookery isn’t just a cookbook; it’s a culinary time capsule that innovatively showcases practicality and creativity in the kitchen. John Cilio’s presentation highlights American Cookery in detail\, the evolution of cookbooks in early America\, the impact of cast iron stoves\, and the development of cooking schools.

SUMMARY:Anything Helps
DESCRIPTION:A New Play About Charity. A LATE–BLOOMER NEW YORK CITY ACTOR chooses to commit a singular act of charity—serving free coffee to a small segment of the city’s 150\,000+ homeless population living on its affluent Union Square. In the process\, he discovers a familial connection with this colorful but broken cadre of characters. As COVID overtakes Manhattan\, his experiences among the poor lead him into a “dark night of the soul\,” from which he ultimately emerges\, finding reconciliation with God and true affirmation of the Franciscan belief that “it is in giving that we receive.” Actor and award-winning writer MARK E. LANHAM and award-winning director CHRIS CLAVELLI come together to tell a tale that is both timely and timeless—an ode to the modern urban age that cheerfully refutes the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished. \nPost-Show Talk Back moderated by Rabbi Ari Rosenberg\, Executive Director\, ARC (Association of Religious Communities) a leading advocate for people experiencing homelessness in our area. \nPlease bring nonperishable food item for the New Milford Food Bank. (Suggestions: cans of tuna\, boxes of breakfast cereal.)

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk: Beronda Montgomery
DESCRIPTION:When Trees Testify: Reclaiming America’s Black Botanical Legacy with Beronda Montgomery \nJoin us for a riveting conversation with award-winning biologist Beronda Montgomery as we discuss her book\, When Trees Testify: Science\, Wisdom\, History\, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy.  \nThe histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees\, and others\, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that\, like Native American traditions\, predates the United States entirely. \nIn When Trees Testify\, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees\, as well as the cotton shrub\, are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows\, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. \nCombining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany\, Montgomery talks to majestic trees\, and in this unique and compelling narrative\, they answer. \nRegister today for this insightful discussion about Black history and botanical mastery.

SUMMARY:Benedict Arnold: Connecticut's Most Misunderstood Traitor
DESCRIPTION:Benedict Arnold’s name is synonymous with being a traitor. At an important point in the\nRevolutionary War\, he orchestrated the handover of top-secret plans about the Patriots’\nmost important fort\, West Point\, to British spy John Andre. The plot unraveled;\notherwise\, the outcome of the fight for independence may have had a different ending.\nWhen looking at reasons for his traitorous behavior\, his shattered dreams growing up in\nNorwich are often overlooked. And\, before he switched allegiances to join the British\,\nArnold was considered among the finest of all military leaders on the Patriot side.\nNoted journalist\, podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen will tell this amazing story.
