Cooking Class and Meal - October 20 2013 at OCC

Carol and Jerrie Lou, along with Phil and Eileen Brewer, planned and put on a lovely meal for all who registered to come out to the cooking class this Sunday.

Almost 40 people attended and it looked like everyone was happy.
Several ladies helped to serve the dished-up plates to the people sitting at the tables, and the meal began.

The theme was Greek and so the foods for the meal were minestrone soup, roasted mini potatoes, glazed carrots, green beans, Greek salad, spanakopita, and rice.
Dessert was a apple strudel. The interesting ingredient was ground up gingersnap cookies to give it more depth of flavour.

People exclaimed how delicious the whole meal was.

Cookbooks were for sale and many people bought them.

Here are a few pictures to help you see what a great time it was.

Seemed to me everyone thought all the food was "so good."

Such a fresh table decoration.

A room full of happy people.

What would we ever do without Carol to share her good ideas and add pretty touches here and there?

Chatting around the table is a great thing to do.

Apple strudel for dessert!

Phil starts the demonstration part of the afternoon with sharing how to make the soup.

Making a point... must be about tearing something, eh?

They each had their own parts to demo, but helped each other too now and then.

An interested audience.

Potatoes and carrots left over -- I think some people got to take some home.

Mostly brown rice but appeals to people who only like white rice.

The bread and spread.

Brittany and Kelsey came with Grama and Grampa to help and do the dishes. It was so nice to have them at the cooking class.

Excellent workers in the kitchen.

Not even half of the dishes they dried.

The tables were brightly decorated.

Showing us how to make brushetta so it is not soggy but very tasty.

It was a bright and beautiful day around the pond by Orchard City Church.

Thanks to all who came out!
