I'll try to go again when they do it next -- not sure if I should bring more curry powder or something different. Probably different, just for the variety. But definitely more portions -- at least 15 things to trade (I only brought ten, and I was feeling a bit deprived). And focus on savory, I think -- there was a ton of great food there, but I would have loved to see more savory options.

Had fun today at the Chicago Food Swap -- thanks to Emily Paster and Vanessa Druckman for inviting me and hosting it! I made curry powder, and was pleased that it all went. :-) I also made a big batch of beef curry for tasting -- wish I'd had time to make a vegetarian seitan option too. Ah well.
