ETS Events 2011-2012

We need to have a large parental presence to make our events run smoothly. Parents do not need to come to every event, but we ask that you attend at least half as many events as your student attends. Younger family members are certainly welcome at events appropriate to their age. All events are at the Hinrichs residence unless stated otherwise.

Potluck and barbeque instructions

Please bring your own drinks, plates and utensils. Please bring a main course and if your last initial begins with A-L please bring a salad or side dish and if M-Z, a dessert. Please bring an amount proportionate to the number of mouths you bring with you. The barbeque will be available if you would like to cook meat or vegetables. If you are not able to bring food, please bring $4 per person for the pizza fund. Please give the money to Mr. Hinrichs as soon as you can the day of the event so he knows how much to order.

Full Moon Oktoberfest

ETS will be hosting an Oktoberfest event celebrating German culture! We would like to serve authentic German food at this event. Mr. H will be providing a variety of Bratwurst as well as some high detail dishes. However there are dishes which he will not have the capacity to make. Therefore to spread the load, we are asking that you bring one of the "Brighton approved" German dishes and pay $2 per person for the bratwurst. Please email Brighton at sonatainbj@yahoo.com with the item on the food page that you would like to bring. Brighton will suggest the serving size of your recipe.

It would be helpful if any families planning on attending could pay Mr. Hinrichs by the 12nd and email Brighton what dishes they wish to bring. Please see below for the whole schedule:

Please bring a main dish and a side dish or a main dish and a dessert proportionate to the number of people you are bringing. Here is a website (http://www.soupsong.com/ibard.html) with a list of foods mentioned in Shakespeare, along with quotes from the plays. You might try making something using these ingredients.

For example, you could make a salad using

apples, ( Henry IV, part I, III, 3:
FALSTAFF: Bardolph, am I not fallen away vilely since this last action? do I not bate? do I not dwindle? Why my skin hangs about me like an like an old lady's loose gown; I am withered like an old apple-john.)
walnuts, ( The Taming of the Shrew, IV, 3:
PETRUCHIO: Why, this was moulded on a porringer; A velvet dish: fie, fie! 'tis lewd and filthy: Why, 'tis a cockle or a walnut-shell, A knack, a toy, a trick, a baby's cap: Away with it! come, let me have a bigger.) and
lettuce ( Othello, The Moor of Venice, I, 3:
IAGO: Virtue! a fig! 'tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners: so that if we will plant nettles, or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up thyme, supply it with one gender of herbs, or distract it with many, either to have it sterile with idleness, or manured with industry, why, the power and corrigible authority of this lies in our wills.)

For fun, you could write out the quotes in which your food items are mentioned and tape them on the food dish.

After dinner, we will teach some Elizabethan dances and also do some of the dances we already know. We will end with singing. Please feel free to dress in Elizabethan costume or as characters from Shakespeare’s plays.

Looking forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Hinrichs - christy@hinrichs.org
