Reports were given by the secretary, treasurer and press reporter. Vice-President Jesse Cowan opened the meeting with the roll call, asking, “if you opened a restaurant, what would you call it?” Rohit and Gitanjali Aggarwal, the owners of the Hensall restaurant, explained that the members were going to explore Indian breakfast cuisine. Some of the main spices used are tumeric, cilantro (also known as coriander or Indian parsley), cumin and ginger. Traditional meal times in India are much different than ours. Breakfast is usually served at 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. consisting of the heavy dishes of the day. Fruit is eaten in the afternoon with lunch at 3 p.m. Tea is taken at 4 p.m. followed by dinner at 8:30 p.m. After a discussion about why people go to restaurants at breakfast, Rohit talked about people’s dietary restrictions and food safety in the kitchen. Four steps are involved: • Cleaning (your hands, food, and the surface you’re working on) • Separating (uncooked foods from cooked foods) • Checking temperature (make sure it is fully cooked) • Chilling leftovers (within two hours) Preparation of paranthas was guided by Rohit and Gitanjali. Members learned about how to make the meal look attractive on the plates by adding cilantro chutney and pickled mango. Then they got to taste their creations which is traditionally eaten with your hands. Delicious! The meeting closed with the 4-H motto. The club’s second meeting was held late last month at the Hensall United Church. The meeting started off with the 4-H pledge. The meeting’s roll call was, “what is your favourite way of eating bread in the morning?” Next, Clara Hern read the secretary’s report. Members read about baking muffins, reviewed two recipes and had to identify the ingredients in the recipes that made one healthier than the other and discussed different kinds of flours. Members then split up into three groups and started to bake muffins. When the muffins were done baking, the members got to taste test the different kinds. Everyone helped to wash up afterwards. Lastly, they boiled eggs for different amounts of time and compared how they looked when cut open. The meeting ended with the 4-H motto “Learn To Do By Doing”.
