The Cheese Room- We are back to our regularly scheduled meetings

I can't believe how quickly time is passing. I guess it's true that time flies when you're having fun (or in my case, when you are extremely busy.) I'm having a hard time believing that we're already nearing the end of September.

I hope all of you have been enjoying the Cheese Room. Doug's demo will of course be cheese-related, and I think he's super excited about it. In the spirit of cheese-love, he will be showing us how to make mozzarella. As a person who considers cheese to be a food-group of it's own, I'm really looking forward to this demo.

Next month we will be reading Twain's Feast by Andrew Beahrs. I'm hoping the books will be here by Wednesday. They are coming from Oregon, so they should get here quickly. Unfortunately, I was thinking I had more time than I actually did to get them ordered, due to pushing our last meeting back a week, so I didn't order them as early as I normally do. Time really got away from me.

Anyway, I hope many of you will be able to make it to our meeting. I'm hoping that now that our big Fall Rush is done here at the store, that I'll be able to spend more time updating the blog, and planning some interesting things for us to do (perhaps a field trip is in our future?)

Have a wonderful weekend, and I will see you on Wednesday!

The Chef's Apprentice Demo

Hi Everyone,

I apologize again for the change in the meeting, but please join us this coming Wednesday, September 5th, at 6:30PM. Our August book was the Chef's Apprentice by Elle Newmark.

Doug will be making gnocchi with a sage brown butter sauce, and will be showing us how to correctly sharpen our knives.

I hope everyone will be able to make it!
