Our Test Kitchen Blog
Inspired by the movie Julia & Julie, we have embarked on a journey to try new and interesting recipes and share the recipes and our experiences through this blog. Each month contributors will select a new cookbook and set a goal of how many recipes to try each week.

Book ClubAre you interested in expanding your literary horizons? I am hosting the September book club meeting and we will be discussing The Birth House by Ami McKay. Our long-term project is Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. It will be an enjoyable evening and, of course, refreshments will be served.

Craft Guild
Many of us have many hobbies and interests, including scrapbooking. And how many of the hobbies and interests result in piles of unfinished projects? I have more counted cross stitches, afghans, table cloths and quilts waiting to be finished then I even want to count. The Craft Guild is here to inspire you. Join us once a month in the host’s home for a make n take (which will be non-scrapbooking . . . lol) and a chance to sit down with an unfinished project, some friends, a treat and a cup of tea (coffee) and get it done. There is no cost for this guild . . . just the enjoyment of your company. I am hosting this month.

Happy Birthday, Mom

Last week I posted a message to some of the ladies attending the Salvation Army crop on Saturday:

Mom's birthday is today (10th) and I'd like to help her celebrate. On Saturday many of us, including Mom, will be cropping at the Salvation Army church on Elm Street. What I would like each of you to do is bring cake -- I don't care if it is a pancake, cupcake, loaf cake, or even an apple pie . . . lol . . . as long as it either says Happy Birthday or has candles or some such thing that will show that it is a birthday cake. She will love the humour and I think it will give her a great deal of happiness. I hope you will participate in my little surprise for mom.Ps . . . even if you aren't attending the crop, I hope you will find a moment in your day to pop in and wish Mom a happy birthday, with or without a cake . . . how about a twinkie from the corner store . . . lol???Thanks so much,Pam

I think Mom enjoyed her surprise . . . she received everything from a Flaky decorated with a tea light candle to a filled cookie with a candle on top, pancakes and cheesecake, and everything in between. This photo just shows some of Mom's cakes. I wish I had taken a better picture of her . . . sigh . . .

Happy birthday, Mom. I hope you enjoyed it.

See ya
Pam
