by Harrington, Anne

[cid:F999886E-2384-4301-AF21-C0C4D9F3235F] A Danish word, hygge (pronounced "hooga") translates roughly to coziness and the art of building community, comfort and a sense of home<http://hygge.co/definition-of-hygge/>. To practice and experience this tradition for ourselves, we invite you to come by Comstock Living room tonight (c 9-11pm), where we will be offering hot cider, pumpkin pie, cookies and other snacks, blankets for curling up under, the warm glow of candles, and an open fire in the fireplace. Stay for a few minutes, or come with a good book or a few good friends and stay for the evening. Hope to see many of you there… Anne and John _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce

[PFOHO] "Happy Chocolate" event, 8PM Dec. 2nd, Hastings Room

by Jen Doody

Hey Pfoho! I'm excited to announce a special upcoming Pfoho chocolate event! On *Wednesday, Dec. 2nd,* Dr. Carla Martin ("Chocolate, Culture, and the Politics of Food <http://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/chocolate-culture-and-politics-fo…> ") will bring chocolatier Sunita de Tourreil, founder of The Chocolate Garage <http://thechocolategarage.com/>, to Pfoho for a presentation on "happy chocolate." De Tourreil uses the term to describe "delicious chocolate made from the finest cacao, sourced in ways that protect the environment and allow farmers to earn a premium for quality." The event will also include a tasting of different chocolates! Space is limited to 50 Pfoho residents and affilates, so *you will need to sign up for this pfree event <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XX6L6PH>.* More details follow below. We look forward to seeing you there! Best, Jen *"Happy Chocolate: * *Why you can have your cake and eat it too!" * *8PM Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2015* *Hastings Room* Sunita de Tourreil, Founder of The Chocolate Garage <http://thechocolategarage.com/> in Palo Alto, invites you to join us for an evening of exploring cacao, happy chocolate and your role in creating change with each chocolate bar you choose to buy. We will start with an introduction to the basics of growing and harvesting cacao, and touch on a few of the many, intricate steps that need to be perfected to create a delicious bar with minimal ingredients. This will be followed by some applied learning, tasting some happy chocolate and less happy chocolate. We will look at The Chocolate Garage as a model for building community, up and down the supply chain and the untapped value that this unlocks. I hope a discussion will ensue around building new ways of engaging with our food, while building business models that align building community with local, high quality and carefully crafted. Bring your palates, hearts and minds! Dr. Carla D. Martin of the Department of African and African American Studies and the spring semester 2016 class AAAS 119x: Chocolate, Culture, and the Politics of Food will also be in attendance. _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce

[PFOHO] The act of vandalism at Harvard law school today

by Pforzheimer House Master

Dear all, Versions of this message are being sent to all students in the Harvard houses this evening, by all the House heads. An event happened today on the Harvard Law School campus that stands in shocking contrast to yesterday's elegant, peaceful protest at the Science Center Plaza, and today’s release of the Report of the College Working Group on Diversity and Inclusion. Portraits of black faculty in Harvard Law School were defaced. We all feel sickened by this act of hate and vandalism. We will continue to work with the College to make Harvard a community of which all of us are proud. Meanwhile, we are writing to reach out, acknowledge what has happened, and express our support for all our students of color. After the Thanksgiving break, we will be arranging a meeting in the Hastings Room to discuss the College Working Group report on Diversity and Inclusion, and its recommendations. We will be in touch with more details soon.
