First community kitchen session on Feb. 21
Community kitchens have become
popular for many reasons. Food
costs less because it can be bought in
bulk. It also takes less time to
prepare because it is cooked in
quantity – and can even be frozen for
later use. The best part about a
community kitchen is they provide a
fun opportunity for people to get
together. Many people have become
close friends through community
cooking. Some have discovered
common interests that have led to
the formation of new groups
focusing on a variety of social
issues.
Deb Malone and Kathy Douglas
have planned the first session for
Blyth’s new community kitchen for
Monday, Feb. 21 from 9:30 a.m. -
12 p.m. at Blyth United Church.
Malone and Douglas share a love
for cooking.
The Huron County Health Unit’s
Public Health Dietitian Amy
MacDonald says “the community
kitchen will provide the opportunity
for community members to plan
menus, cook together and enjoy each
other’s company – it’s a great
opportunity to get involved in your
community and eat a healthy meal”.
Community kitchens are for
anyone – seniors, singles and
families.
“At the first meeting, we will
meet, cook, decide what to prepare
for future gatherings and take home
a delicious, healthy, inexpensive
meal of beef stew and biscuits.” For
a minimum donation of $2 per
person, Douglas explains, “we hope
this community kitchen will allow
for people of all ages to learn new,
economical and safe ways of
cooking, while bringing them
together to socialize and
provide nutritious foods for their
families.”
“Having the confidence and skills
in the kitchen is essential for eating
healthily and affordably,”
MacDonald says.
Programs that come at a low cost
are essential in a culture of
economic challenges. Blyth’s
community kitchen hopes to help
many. There are several ways to
participate in this project. Groups
and individuals can provide funds
for the ‘basic pantry’ items
($150/year) or sponsor the event for
one month ($50). “Financial
resources are needed to make
programs like this one happen, but
the best way to help, is to
participate”, says Douglas. “So,
come out to the first meeting to share
your ideas and a hearty meal”.
If you’d like more information
about this project, or to help, please
call Kathy Douglas at 519-523-4380
or Deb Malone at 519-441-9106.
Spiritual beauty!
(J.R. Miller, “Counsel and Help” 1907)
“But now you must also put away all the following: anger, wrath, malice, slander,
and filthy language.” Colossians 3:8
All the precepts of the Bible are aimed towards the fashioning of spiritual beauty
in every redeemed life. We are to put away... all thais is sinful, all that is marring,
every blot and blemish, every unholy desire, feeling, and affection, everything that
would defile. And we are to put on whatever is lovely and Christlike.
The one great work of Christ in Christians lives — is the fashioning of holiness in
them. We are to grow away from our deformities, our faults and infirmities, our
poor dwarfed, stunted life — and into spiritual beauty!The mark set before us is
the likeness of Christ, which, at last, we shall attain! “We shall be like Him, because
we will see Him as He really is!” 1 John 3:2
