Food Demo: Pâté

Sorry, no Potluck in September

We lost our volunteer potluck coordinator, so no one scheduled a potluck this month.

Can you volunteer a little of your time to help make the Eugene Chapter run smoothly?  I have talked with people who are willing to be speakers, we just need someone to set it up.  Let me know!

Renea, a local Eugene Chapter participant and sourdough enthusiast, will be speaking on sourdough basics and how to get friendly with your starter, as well as einkorn wheat, sourdough sandwich breads, refrigerator starter vs countertop, and how much you don’t need to knead your dough.

She has been baking bread for a couple decades, and always had a taste for sourdough, but more recently began working with sourdough on the regular, when she found the Wise Traditions diet in 2015, and realized the significance of properly preparing grains.
