CI intim 1-11 ('tuts
made with eggs and a
favourite food that is made
with chicken."
Michelle took attendance
as the members answered.
Members were asked to
make an omelet or an
"eggimal." These are crea-
tures created with a hard
boiled egg, cheese and
vegetables. Members were
asked to record each of the
item they cooked and how
they tasted, in the manual.
Bev discussed a club
summary sheet, check list
for the members to look at
while completing their
books to ensure all neces-
sary items were included.
Many nominations for
the club's name included
"The Cluckers," "Kitchen
Patrol," "Scrambled Hens"
and "The Clucker House."
The title however became
"Two Young Roosters and
13 Hot Chicks" when the
club unanimously voted for
it. The club was asked to
create an uncoloured cover
page that would be voted
on during the next meeting.
Youth leaders, Michelle
and Nicole conducted a
word scramble game and
provided the opportunity
for members to look at 4-H
books that have already
been completed, for ideas
of how they could com-
plete their own books.
Pat handed out a calen-
dar and an egg pamphlet to
the club and Bev discussed
the "journey of the egg."
The club was divided into
groups and given slips of
paper which described the
different steps of process-
ing. They were then asked
to place them in the correct
order.
After the activity the
club gathered in the
kitchen to create
"Eggimals." When every-
one finished, Jessie
Leeming took some pic-
tures of the creations.
Members of the Great
Chicken and Egg Club met
on Feb. 7 at Pat
Saundercock's house for
meeting three.
Members gathered in the
kitchen to begin by cook-
ing. Three groups made
Chicken Noodle Soup,
Basic Crepes and a filling
for the crepes called
Luscious Lemon Dessert
Filling.
As the soup was cooking
and the crepe batter was
chilling in the fridge,
President Louise Lobb led
the club in reciting the 4-H
pledge. The Roll Call,
"what is your favourite
part of chicken and how do
you best like it cooked,"
was answered. Secretary
Michelle Lobb took atten-
dance and the press
reporter read the minutes.
The leaders were happy
to see that every member
had prepared a club
title page. The club
voted and Michelle
Lobb's cbver page was
the winner, to be photo-
copied and given to the
members to colour and put
on their book.
The Youth Leaders led
the club in an activity
called, "Chicken in the
Kitchen." The purpose of
the activity was to display
the importance of safe food
handling, especially with
meat and poultry. Wet
sponge and red paint were
used to show the club how
easily cross -contamination
can occur between cooked
and uncooked meats.
Leader, Bev Broadfoot
further discussed the
importance of safety, talk-
ing about the internal tem-
perature poultry should be
when it is cooked and how
to thaw poultry correctly.
She also mentioned food
poisoning and said that
poisons such as salmonel-
la cannot be seen by the
human eye, so extra cau-
tion needs to be taken.
Finally, it was time to
taste test the food that had
been made. Most enjoyed
the soup, however the
crepes and lemon filling
were a huge hit. Many
members went back for
second and third helpings.
The next meeting was
held on Feb. 14 at 6:30
p.m.
