Maine continues to be the "fattest state" in New England. I think I know why. The following snippets are excerpted from the news column in today's very local paper:
The Freeport Community Library will host the 13th annual Chocolate Bash on Wednesday, February 12. This popular event includes a buffet of chocolate temptations to be sampled. $2 per person.
The menus at the Valentines' Dinner at The Masonic Lodge will feature
baked ham, mashed potatoes, desserts and beverages.
A Bean Supper will be held at the First Parish Congregational Church. The supper will feature three kinds of beans, American chop suey, macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, dinner rolls, cole slaw, beverages and desserts.
Food historian Sandy Oliver will present a program called "Comfort Food: Now and Then." Oliver will discuss the concept of American comfort foods such as macaroni and cheese, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and spaghetti and meatballs, and sign copies of her new book, "Maine Home Cooking."
The Freeport Elders Pancake Breakfast on the first and third Saturday of each month offers deluxe pancakes, sausages, biscuits and eggs for $4.50, and regular pancakes for $3.50.
One town over in Durham, a Valentine Soiree to benefit the food pantry will include sparkling cider, mashed potatoes and gravy, dinner rolls, tomato soup with crackers, pudding, baked ham with pineapple and roast turkey with stuffing.
The First Congregational Church of Durham is hosting an all-you-can-eat baked bean and ham supper, including baked beans, ham, cole slaw, potatoes (sweet or white) pies, rolls and beverage.
The Interact Club of Freeport High will host a spaghetti supper as a fundraiser.
$7.50 per adult.
And in nearby Pownal, the United Methodist Food Pantry wants to help the poor. While organizers never know what they will be getting each week, there are usually several kinds of breads and desserts available.
