A Zhuangzi reading will be provided prior to event.

The Evening:
Join Quotidian, Luke Weiss, and Sarah Spence as we journey to Anhui a province of the People's Republic of China located in the eastern region of the country. The evening will be presented lyceum-style with a focus on philosopher Zhuangzi. Luke will provide diners with a Zhuangzi reading prior to arriving on Saturday, April 27th. We will meet to discuss an ancient Chinese text from the late Warring States period (476–221 BC) which contains stories and anecdotes that exemplify the carefree nature of the ideal Daoist sage. We will have a slowed down and deep, collective, interactive and fun conversation while eating traditional Chinese fare from the Anhui region one the eight culinary traditions of
China.

Menu:
We will begin our Anhui meal with farmhouse egg dumplings with meat filling served with a dipping sauce and mixed pickle. These dumplings are traditionally served at spring festival. Followed by tofu stewed with chestnuts served with rice and cucumber salad. We will end our meal with sesame-peanut cookies served with huangshan maofeng and chrysanthemum tea.
