Upcoming Cooking for Crowds Class at Cooperative Extension

January 19, 2011 by Jeanne

Dana at the Cumberland County, Virginia, Cooperative Extension Office sent me an update on their forthcoming programs.  Sharing with you the following information on a class called “Cooking for Crowds”.

From Dana –

“I wanted to let everyone know about an extension workshop coming up in February called “Cooking for Crowds” for quantity cooking.  The workshop will be held on February 5, 2011 from 9:00 am to 12 noon OR February 16, 2011 from 6-9 pm at the Cumberland Extension Office.  There will be a $10.00 fee per person or organization.  Participants will receive a manual, certificates of completion, posters, thermometers, and chlorine test strips.  The instructor will be Jane Henderson, FCS Agent with the Amelia Extension Office.  Please register at least 5 days before the scheduled class by calling Linda Eanes at 804-492-4390 or by email at leanes@vt.edu.”

So there you have it folks.  If you cook for church potlucks,  big gatherings like barbecues and family reunions and the like, you may want to take this class. Keep everyone safe and get your certification for ‘cooking for crowds’.

Recipe Fail – Coconut Bars

Each weekend, I dig out my favorite cookbook – the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, 13th Edition.

Propagating Peach Trees from Softwood Cuttings

We decided that propagating peach trees from softwood cuttings was the way to go when we couldn’t find the variety we wanted at the store this past week.
