  BKA's Annual Summer Family BBQ will be held on Saturday, July 20th, 2019 from 12 to 4 p.m. at Arsenal Park in Watertown.

  
  

  We're going to have a Family Day with games and BBQ eats. This event is open to everyone (e.g., spouses, significant others, families, kids, friends, etc.).

  
  

  We will be hanging out at the grills and picnic tables on the right side of the park. The park also has a water pad and a small kids area. Feel free to also bring your outdoor games (cornhole, anyone?)

  
  

  BKA will provide main dishes (burgers, black bean burgers, etc). Sides and desserts are potluck style (and pay a lower reg fee if you can bring one) - post what you're bringing in the comments.

  
  

  We are fortunate to get the pavilion space this year so we will have a roof over our head rain or shine! If it IS rain, we're still on, though we will do pizza and board games instead of grilling.

  
  

  Looking forward to seeing you there!

• July Discussion Group: Got Milk?

  July's discussion group is "Got Milk? Recipes and Stories Around How Food Has Shaped Our Identities."
  
  Anthony Bourdain once noted that, “The way you make an omelet reveals your character.” Cooking, baking, eating, and drinking are all something that is inseparable from our personhood. How does cooking (along with baking, eating, and drinking) reveals about our identities, experiences, and culture? July Discussion Group will be an experiential discussion where we will not only dialogue about our relationship with food, but also understand how food and identities influence one another as we utilize all of our senses. If you have any food/dietary “preferences” (for some, restriction is the preferred term), please let us know so we can strive to facilitate an inclusive engagement. 
  
  Holly will host the event at her home in Cambridge. The address will be shared to those who RSVP. The home is located within 10-12 minute walk of two Red line T stations and parking is available on the left side of the street.
  
  BKA Discussion Group is made possible by a grant from the Korean Ministry of Health and Wellness. Previously, the discussion group has hosted events on various film screenings and discussions on KAD conferences, anxiety, stereotypes, relationships, and families among adoptees.
  
  If you have topics that you're interested in or feedback you want to share, please contact Laura Jee (LKnuttunen@gmail.com), Timothy Rehberg (rehbergtimothy@gmail.com) or reach out to a board member.

  Once again, BKA is teaming up with the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts to offer a Korean cooking class.
  

  
  

  Join us for a private cooking class to learn how to make a few dishes, try a few foods and have a little fun.

   

  The classes normally have a cost of $85 per person but, thanks to a generous grant from Korea's Ministry of Health and Wellness, we're able to subsidize these quite a bit. It will only cost you $20 per session if you're a member, $30 if you're a non-member.  

   

  We have to meet an 8 person minimum for the class to run (13 person max). Friends and guests welcome! 

   

  Registration will be open to BKA members (all levels) through Friday, July 12.  Then, it will be available to everyone - non-members and guests - on Saturday, July 13. 

  
  

  We have some input on the menu. Here's what we made last time; we could keep some or all items the same or change a few. (Remember, even if you attended last time, you can work on a different dish this time!)

  
  

  Menu:

  • Kimchi cheddar bites with Asian pear
  • Bibim naengmyeon (Spicy Cold Noodles)
  • Soondubu jjigae (Spicy Braised Tofu Stew)
  • Beef Bulgogi
  • White Rice
  • Ddeokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes)
  • Jap chae (Sweet potato noodles stir-fried with vegetables)

  (items in red are if our group reaches 12)

   Bonchon:

  • Crispy candied sweet potatoes with spicy dipping sauce
  • Scallion pancakes
  • Crispy Green onion Salad
  • Stir fried anchovies
  • Pickled daikon

  Dessert:

  • Hotteok (sweet stuffed bread NO PEANUTS)
