Happy Cookers
Happy Cookers meet on the fourth Friday of each month (except
as noted). In October, the Happy Cookers hosted a pumpkin carving
event. Once they scooped out all of the pumpkin "guts," we roasted
their tiny, lovely seeds for a healthful snack. Also, during our meeting,
many Cookers shared their favorite pumpkin or pumpkin pie spice
(PPS) cuisine. There was pumpkin pie (of course), pumpkin whoopie
pies, pumpkin rolls and PPS coffee. Take that, Starbucks!
And in case you were wondering, some of those in attendance
wore the sweetest, cutest and scariest costumes in all of Sun Lakes.
According to some neighbors, however, certain witches didn't even
need costumes.
Please note, there will not be a Happy Cookers meeting in
November since the fourth Friday (our usual meeting day) follows
the fourth Thursday, which is Thanksgiving… arguably the busiest
cooking day of the year for most Cookers. Those who are not cooking,
may be traveling, shopping and still cleaning up their kitchens from
the big day, so we will wait to see each other again in December.
We do plan to make up for lost time by having our annual
Christmas Holiday party on Thurs., Dec. 16 in the Main Clubhouse
Ballroom. Our theme will be "Sugar Plum Fairy" and we expect lots
of fun and great food.
More details regarding the Holiday Party will be in next month's
article.
We hope to see all current Happy Cookers and anyone who is
interested in joining us when we get back to normally scheduled
meetings again in January. Sun Lakers are invited to attend a
meeting BEFORE joining to see if you think you'd enjoy becoming
a member. We truly have great times sharing outstanding recipes,
food, friendship and fun. We'd love for you to join us!
