Tip from the Kitchen

LOVE my square silicon cupcake cups. I bought a gallon of cheddar cheese sauce and there's no way we will eat it all before it goes bad. I set my cupcake cups on a baking sheet and scooped the cheese into each, then froze. Once froze they are easily removed from the cups. I can heat a few to make nachos or toss them in a recipe to make it cheesy. I do the same with excess gravy. Then I can easily toss one or two into soup to make it creamy or add to whatever I want thickened. With pepper gravy a few frozen gravy cubes and a frozen biscuit heated up for a quick breakfast.

Golden Wheat Chapter Fall Meeting

October 16th was the Fall meeting of Golden Wheat Chapter of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia

Today's meeting was special in that the chapter provided a bierock for each of those attending. 


As always there was plenty of food to go with the bierocks.


The desert table had a delicious selection.


It was a small group...


Everyone enjoyed visiting before the meal.


Karen welcomed everyone and returned Grace...


...then invited the children to begin the food line. 


We also had our bierock fund raiser going on at this time. Money being collected and counted, numbers crunched.


Good company and good conversation.


Karen began the meeting with her report from headquarters then Dennis gave a report from the Kansas Round Up of Chapters. 


Ella read out Mission Statement then presided over the Election of Officers.


Our program was a remastered film on Norka in the 1920's. 



Ella brought a map showing Norka and a village plat map.


Another successful meeting of the
