On With The Show

The group met on Monday July 17, 2006 for our planning night. We welcomed our new friend Wayne to the group. We planned to make 5 recipes: Breakfast Fig & Nut Cookies, Creamy Spinach Lasagna (Cooking Light) , Greek Flavoured Turkey Burgers (Cooking Light) , Curried Chicken with Plums and Ginger, and Spicy Chicken Cakes with Horseradish Aioli (Cooking Light) . 5 members were in attendance, due to holidays and other such commitments. The cost to each member was $8.00.

On Thursday July 20, we met for our cooking night and learned that our fearless leader and expert chef Randi was under the weather! What to do? An executive decision was made...the show must go on! However, due to the small group of members in attendance and all of our relative amateur cooking status...we decided to forgo both the Curried Chicken and Spicy Chicken cakes.

Also on this evening, our friendly neighbourhood reporter from the local paper, the Exeter Times Advocate came to take some pictures and do a story on our kitchen! Be sure to check out the article in next Wednesday's (July 26th) edition of the Times Advocate. In all of the excitement we even forgot to take pictures!

But the group stayed strong and pulled it together, Randi would've been proud! We manage to make the cookies, 2 lasagnas and the turkey burgers....A SUCCESS...but I guess the taste test will tell...

Each member took home 3 turkey burgers, a plethora of breakfast cookies and 4 servings of lasagna. All and all it was a fun-filled night and everyone learned alot!

A big thank you to our sponsors Hayter's Turkey Products and Hansen's Your Independent Grocer!
