ARMENIAN DINNER FUNDRAISER - JULY 14 - 4:00pm

We have decided to go with July 14 at 4:00pm for the Armenian Dinner Fundraiser for my building project with the Fuller Center for Housing in Armenia. See my posts below describing the dinner and the project.

Seats are filling up fast so please make a reservation soon. RSVP us via this blog or at lawrence@olypen.com

This is a basturma, an air-dried, spice-covered beef delicacy that will absolutely thrill your mouth with subtle and robust tastes.  I've get several batches going now and can't wait for folks to taste it.

The meal will be preceded by a house concert by Twisted Roots, the local acoustic roots duo from Port Angeles.

If you are unable to attend but would still like to contribute to bringing affordable housing - or really just housing period! - to people in great need, you can use the DONATE button on the right.

Thanks for your support.

Armenian Dinner Fundraiser

Hi All, Kristina and I will be putting on an Armenian buffet dinner on either July 7 or July 14 to raise funds for the Fuller Center for Housing in Armenia project I'll be working on in August. The Fuller Center was founded by Millard and Linda Fuller, the founders of Habitat for Humanity.  The project I will be on will be to build or complete houses in villages around the Yerevan (capital city) area.

Our Armenian dinner will consist of:

• Khorovats - Armenian Shish Kabob made of pork marinated in onion and pomergranite
• Fassoulia Piaz - white bean salad
• Imam Beyeldi - Eggplant and tomato cold dish
• Armenian Potato Salad
• Derevi Sarma (Dolma)- rice and onion grape leaf wraps
• Basterma - air-dried spicy beef - sort of like jerky
• Simit - braided dessert pastry
• Kini - Armenian Pomegranite Wine
• Soorj - Armenian coffee

We'll be sending out inquiries to see which date will work best for people.  We will be taking donations for the dinner - the amount is up to you.
