Austin Food Swap
My friend Melanie introduced me to the Austin Food Swap. It’s a fairly self-explanatory event: people get together and exchange foodstuffs. Last month’s event was the first I attended, and I was rather impressed by how friendly everyone was and what an amazing, creative, diverse spread of homemade things there were.
I brought ginger syrup with instructions for making ginger ale, and people snapped it right up, totally nullifying my fear that everyone would think what I made sucked and ignore me. The swap left me with such a bounty that we still have some of our goodies. This month, I’m bringing lavender vodka (which is totally easy, and which I will post directions for soon).
If you are interested in the event and live in the Austin area, I recommend joining the ATXswappers Facebook group, so you’ll be notified next time tickets are up for grabs.
