End of 2010

2010 was a busy year at the Ground to Griddle kitchen.  We have welcomed many new members and had a few leave us.  We have enjoyed some of the local bounty provided here in north western British Columbia and tried some food from further away...some of which we grew in our greenhouse at the Princess Neighbourhood Garden.  It has been a year of food related learning and building connections in our community.  As we have tried to enjoy seasonal food as part of our kitchen menu throughout the year, it seemed fitting to do some cooking for the coming holiday season.
For our last cooking day of 2010, we decided that Christmas baking was on the agenda.  We made Gingerbread cookies, Sugar n’ spice cookies, Chocolate mice (yummers!) and Chocolate/peanut butter Teddies!  What an amazing amount of cookies!  Next year I think we might try to make some things that don’t involve the oven space.  We managed to get everything cooked and everyone had some great baking to take home for the holidays. 
We’ll be back at the kitchen January 4th, 2011!  Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year
