Sharing a meal is one of the best ways to make memories and build community—whether you’re doing it at a place you own, a place you rent, or another creative solution like a picnic in the park! 😋"

Meet Chelsea Pennington Hahn (she/her), MFC Board Member. Chelsea has dedicated her life to storytelling in myriad forms. As the director of the Lafayette History Museum, she helps connect the community with the stories of their past and the place they call home. As a writer, she creates fictional stories about community, q***r joy, and compassion while also working to make that world a reality. She lives in Boulder, Colorado with her husband and their dog, Pippin.

Love telling and exploring new stories?

Join Chelsea on the MFC team!

🦴 Humans everywhere use food “to serve as a reminder that life is short, so it may as well be sweet.”

Għadam tal-mejtin, a Maltese cookie, cleverly resemble and translate to “dead men’s bones.” Stuffed with a delicious-sounding ‘marrow’ of cardamom and clove, this dessert is a unique mixture of geographic influence and cultural heritage.

The thing that struck me were the parallels between this dessert and Mexican pan de mu**to (“bread of the dead”) or even calaveras de azúcar (“sugar skulls”).

🌈 👾 🍫 Y'all, the 90s were WILD!

Neon colors, overwhelming flavors, names that sounded like they came straight from a comic book -- it was the PEAK of school snacks!

(a hill I will die on.)

The question wasn't so much which snacks you had, it was which you DESPERATELY wanted and what you'd trade to get it.

👇️ Tell us what your signature 90s school name would be in the comments!

💸 Creative cooking to save money

This week in 5 Cool Things, we're talking about Depression-era recipes and thrifty cooking. Plus we consider what divides generations, debate a Food Bill of Rights, rethink our relationship with nature and the economy, and explore why social scientists are fascinated with grocery stores.

Have fun getting curious with us: Link in bio /
