Recipes, Technique & Food Discussion, not General Discussion, please.

[fracmeister]

Well normally I'd agree but the real topic is teaching a class. Think this could go either way

[Huskee]

fracmeister, General Discussion is for anything OFF the topic of food, cookers, cooking, cooking techniques, food classes, etc. Jokes, sports, pets, cars, for example. If it's about food, it's not General Discussion, thanks!

[MBMorgan]

Really good (albeit somewhat ambitious 😎) agenda. Have fun!

[mountainsmoker]

Have fun, that is a pretty full agenda.

[Henrik]

I love your ambition, but I think you need to cut that in half. Way too much to cover. Kill your darlings!

@fracmeister
I agree with Henrik. Having taught in different situations over the last 45 years your agenda seems overly ambitious even if they are coming back for an entire Saturday. I think a more realistic target would be to teach them to cook the night’s dinner and leave time for Q & A.

[Donw]

You know your Ward better than we do but I would consider cutting the agenda in half and doing a two parter or series. I know the Sisters would appreciate enjoying your cooking more than once.

[fracmeister]

We will see how we do. If we dont finish we dont finish and I can do a "part II"

Maybe we dont do any hands on prep work in this class. play it by ear

[Donw]

Not trying to hijack this thread but Huskee should point out to Ray that something is wrong with the Statistics and Last Post section of this thread. On my iPad it shows 0 replies and the last post being the original post. I cleared all my caches and it is still showing the lack of activity. Something is not right.🤔

[JeffJ]

That is a LOT to cover in one evening. Regardless, that sounds really cool. Good luck!
