🇫🇷 Bonjour à tous ! Voici notre deuxième pré-atelier de cuisine ! Comme je suis rentrée quelque temps en Corée, la date de cette rencontre a été un peu repoussée. J’espère que vous allez tous bien ! Le temps a passé, et maintenant il fait vraiment un temps idéal pour un pique-nique. Alors je me suis dit que, avant de commencer les ateliers de cuisine, ce serait une belle idée de se retrouver pour passer un moment ensemble, apprendre à se connaître et profiter d’un pique-nique. Ce serait aussi l’occasion de découvrir différentes spécialités et snacks de plusieurs pays. Et après le pique-nique, si certains en ont envie, on pourra aussi partager nos bonnes adresses et pourquoi pas aller manger ensemble dans un endroit recommandé par le groupe ! Lors de la dernière rencontre, chacun avait apporté un snack de son pays à partager. Cette fois, j’aimerais que chacun apporte un plat simple, quelque chose qu’il aime particulièrement, qu’il maîtrise bien, ou qu’il peut préparer rapidement et facilement à la maison, afin que nous puissions goûter les plats des uns et des autres. Et si cuisiner est difficile pour vous cette fois-ci, ce n’est pas un problème : vous pouvez aussi apporter un petit snack acheté dans une boutique représentant votre pays en France. Cette fois, j’aimerais aussi que nous soyons un peu plus nombreux afin de pouvoir discuter ensemble du futur atelier de cuisine qui sera organisé par la suite. Je partagerai un lien vers le groupe WhatsApp avec les participants pour donner tous les détails. L’idée est de continuer à échanger ensemble pour construire petit à petit des rencontres encore plus conviviales et intéressantes ! À très bientôt, j’ai hâte de vous rencontrer ! 🇬🇧 Hello everyone! This is our second pre-cooking workshop meetup! Because I went back to Korea for a short time, this meetup was delayed a little more than expected. I hope you’ve all been doing well! Now that some time has passed, I feel like the weather is finally perfect for a picnic. So before starting the cooking workshops, I thought it would be a lovely idea to spend some time together getting to know each other through a picnic. It would also be a great opportunity to discover different foods and snacks from various countries. And after the picnic, if people would like to, we could also share restaurant recommendations and maybe even go have a meal together somewhere recommended by the group! At the last meetup, everyone brought a snack from their own country to share. This time, I’d love for each person to bring one dish from home — something they personally love, feel confident making, or something simple and quick that they can prepare easily — so that we can all taste each other’s food. And if cooking is difficult for you this time, that’s totally okay: you can also bring a small snack from a shop in France that represents your country. This time, I’d also love for more people to join so that we can talk together about the future cooking workshop that will be held later on. I’ll send a WhatsApp group link to the participants with all the details. Let’s keep talking together and build even better and more enjoyable gatherings little by little! See you all soon — I’m really looking forward to meeting you!

Pique Nique aux Buttes Chaumont : venez avec vos provisions, vos jeux et votre bonne humeur à partager tous ensemble. Rendez vous à 13h à la porte Fessard.

**Ahoy there,** Next full moon picnic will be Saturday May 30 from 8:30 - 10:30 P.M. Moonrise will be around 10:10 P.M. Sunset around 9:40 PM. I may not make it back from my tree house in time but never fear, Catherine and Charles will be there to welcome you. The Pont des Arts is undergoing renovations for the botched renovation 3 years ago that used a poor design to fasten the wood planks. Most of the bridge will remain open full width during the work. We will meet by one of the benches in the open section, which is currently towards the Left Bank side of the bridge. Hard to predict how work will advance over the next week. So finding us may involve a little bit of treasure hunt adventure. You’re welcome! In the unlikely event we will assemble below on the quai on the Right Bank side. May is known by American Indians for the Full Flower Moon because of the wide appearance of flowers during this month. It's also known as Full Corn Planting Moon (for obvious reasons) and as the Milk Moon. Bob, I swear you're just copy pasting that from your last email for our previous Full Moon Picnic. Yes, that’s because this is the second full moon of the same month, which only happens once in a blue moon. 🤣 **WHAT**: Everyone brings food and drink to share. **WHERE**: Pont des Arts. We'll gather around the 2nd or 3rd bench from the Right Bank side of the bridge. Nearest metros: Pont Neuf and Louvre-Rivoli. **WHEN**: Saturday May 30 from 8:30-10:30 P.M. **WHY**: Share one of the most memorable sights in Paris with some of the nicest people around. **WHO**: You and your friends. **THEME**: Blue **BIRTHDAYS**: Are you’re a Gemini? Bring a cake and let me know so we can celebrate your birthday this month and blow out the world’s largest birthday candle. **HOW** to find us: Keep your eyes out for a bunch of lunatics eating, drinking an chatting in English and French. **PUZZLER**: Raise your hand if you’re vegetarian. Vegan? Beegan?(vegan + honey. I know.) Flexitarian?(occasional meat). Vegan before 6 PM?(yes that’s actually a thing.) Forget about Omnivore. Forget about Carnivore. How about Cannibal? How about Sausage eating Cannibal? Why are you cringing? You're the product of a Sausage eating Cannibal. Don’t try to puzzle this out. Just go ahead and scroll to the answer before your stomach turns queasy. **PUZZLER ANSWER**: Our galaxy, the Milky Way has become quite large feasting on other smaller galaxies. About 8 billion years ago, a study said, that a smaller dwarf galaxy was gobbled up by a young and hungry Milky Way. The study was not 8 billion years ago (that’s why the 2 commas) but 8 years ago. The dwarf galaxy was named Gaia Sausage because it was sorta kinda in the shape of a sausage according to the astronomers analyzing the data. They had been up for 2 days without eating and were definitely not vegan. [https://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2018/july/gaia-sausage.html](https://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2018/july/gaia-sausage.html) Turns out that just this month, the Milky Way gobbled up another galaxy, according to a study, 10 billion years ago. (I’m using commas the way Trump uses legal loopholes.) The poor meal this time is called the Loki galaxy, named after the Norse god of mischief. The remnants of this dwarf galaxy are hard to detect and tricky to explain because the left over stars are moving in opposite directions. Confusing and mischievous. [https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/23/science/milky-way-loki-galaxy](https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/23/science/milky-way-loki-galaxy) In this eat or be eaten universe galaxies are cannibalizing each other. So far the Milky Way has eaten its way to an expanding belt-line. Ciao for niao, **Captain Bob**

This is the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris. Significantly, in 1976, California wines unexpectedly outperformed French wines in a blind tasting with nine French judges, challenging the perception that only French wines were of the highest quality. This event helped elevate the status of California wines on the global stage and is considered a pivotal moment in wine history. House Wine, in Worthington, modestly, recreates that moment in history with a tasting both American and French wines in a fun, casual atmosphere. Come at 6:45, pay your fee at the register and join your friends for this "Judgey" tasting. https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine/the-judgment-of-paris-turns-40/ Arrive when you can and we'll have a table for gathering. Feel free to bring your own food as it is welcomed at this local gem or order from the newly opened Worthington Inn, or local favorites such as Dewey's, Everest, Jet, Worthington Tavern and The Whitney. Each person pays their tasting fee, typically $15, and gets their wine glass, then approximately five pours of the wines being served. **Parking is tough**. Try the second lot behind House Wine accessed by the land by the back parking lot or the municipal lot one block north of House Wine. **Waiver and Liability and Attendance Policy.** Participation by you and your guests means you agree to the Waiver of Liability and Attendance Policies on our Group Page. People who have two more or Attendance policy violations are subject to removal from the group.

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

**Karaoke Night**: Bring your glee club friends. Enjoy a flashback to your choir days. No chorus line. It's all you baby. Sing. Shout. Scream. Lip sync if you need to. But do show up and do have a good time. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion.

Happy Birthday to all June birthday people! I put this on the schedule because it's my birthday month, and this is my favorite place; it's also Dave Koczur's (MAFIA meetup leader) birthday on June 8; if you who are reading this have a June birthday as well, tell us in the Comments! For anyone off work or with a flexible schedule, come to Pistachio Vera in German Village for a tea and pastry. We will try to get a table outside. If convenient, you could put a fold up chair in your car in case we can all sit outside but we run out of chairs. https://www.pistaciavera.com/
