Cooking demos

It has been far too long since I have posted here and I have to catch up from some past events. A while back(May 22) I did some cooking demonstrations at The Vineyard church in Duluth. My mission there was to cook foods that were available in the food shelf and show people how to make good dishes that were tasty and not too difficult for them using the ingredients available. It turned out o be an excellent time with a good number attending and lots of good questions from the audience relating to their particular situation. We ended up doing one less demo than expected because the people didn't arrive as soon as we expected but that was just fine. We did a couple of breakfast demos with Baking Powder Biscuits and Sausage Gravy and those went over very well. next was the prepping of a whole chicken for roasting and preparing chicken stock from the leftover carcass to be used in soups, gravies and other dishes that require chicken stock. We roasted the chicken and prepared a Rice Pilaf using white rice, bacon and onions and our final demo was Bread Pudding using the Powdered Non-Fat Dry Milk, eggs and sugar as well as a bit of Vanilla and some patience. It was well received. I look forward to doing one of these per month for the Fruit Of The Vine food shelf on Tuesday evenings to highlight some of the food available in the food shelf and a few ways of cooking it.
Go out and serve mankind,
