Upcoming NIbley 6th Ward Emergency Preparedness Mini-classes

Here is a tentative schedule for our mini-classes. Although most are held on the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m., some are not. An email is sent by our Relief Society secretary to those who have email. If you want to be notified personally on upcoming classes, please send me an email stating this, and you will be added to the list. My email is lin0303@netscape.net

March miniclass is being held at the Church on 3200 South on March 26 (Thursday). Starting time will be either 6:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. The class may run 90 minutes instead of the usual hour long meeting. A speaker from Andersen Seed in Logan will be addressing us on how to grow vegetables and fruits so that we can become more self-reliant.

As before, husbands are always invited to any of these meetings as well as any others wanting to attend that are not within our stake boundaries.

The date and time will be firmed up on Feb. 24. If you do not see an email or have this date announced in your Relief Society meeting, please email me.

April mini-class will be on powdered milk.
You will be tasting two different kinds of powdered milk mix and recipes made with powdered milk. There will be a demonstration on how to make yogurt (two kinds of yogurt: the kind with the fruit on the bottom that has to be mixed, and the Swiss-style that has the fruit mixed in and has the consistency of jello. Although you may not like yogurt, it is important to learn the process of making it as some of the cheeses that will be demonstrated begin as yogurt. I make a delicious cheesecake recipe from a cheese made from yogurt. Remember that this cheesecake is nonfat because it is made from powdered milk. I am exploring other uses of powdered milk (remember that I am a work in progress, too) so our repertoire will increase. More later on.

Other topics that will be covered in mini-classes this year, but are not scheduled yet include: making wheat gluten and bulgur wheat; first aid; pasta making; campfire building/dutch oven cooking; bean cookery; fire safety in the home; personal safety; soap making; and canning, if there is enough interest. This is all subject to change based on need and interest.
