A Puppet Shows You How to Look Your Best on Zoom

You Can Dance If You Want To - a Foolscap music social

Been to any good concerts lately? Neither have we - but that doesn’t mean it’s been a bad year for music! We’re putting together a playlist of new music discoveries we’ve made in 2020, and inviting you to share the music you’ve found during our year in quarantine, along with some of the songs that helped you make it through. This will be a mics-off, text-based conversation, to let us focus on the music. If you’ve got music to share, bringing a Bandcamp or Youtube link will help!

Creating and Publishing Serials

Serialized fiction is enjoying a revival online in podcasts and websites. Mark Ferrari (Twice: The Serial) and Curtis Chen (Ninth Step Station) are at forefront of this trend. They’ll talk about the challenges of writing and publishing serials and take some questions.

Cooking Demo: Dutch Babies

You may not be able to have Hospitality’s Dutch babies this year, but we’ll gladly show you how to make your own! Make sure you have eggs, milk, flour, sugar, butter, and either a cast-iron skillet or 9x9ish glass or ceramic baking dish. We’ll give you the recipe, some techniques, and a few general kitchen tips along the way!

Virtual Teas and Tools

Stefanie and Wing answer your questions about brewing and serving tea, talk a bit about its long history, and show off some of their more unusual blends and brewing tools.
