Huron Expositor, 2005-03-30, Page 1414 - THE HURON EXPOSITOR, March 30, 2005 Cot respondents Chicken and Egg Club hosts its fifth and sixth meetings Meeting 5 of the Great Chicken and Egg Club was held on March 7 at Pat Saundercock's house. The club gathered in the kitchen to make Wild West Wings and Deli Chicken Salad. After the club had cleaned up their mess and the food was cooking the meeting was officially opened. Since a number of members could not attend due to inclement weather, some of the executive jobs needed to be switched around. President Louise Lobb was absent, so Vice President Jessie Leeming led the club in the 4-H pledge. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Press Reporter since Secretary Michelle Lobb was also absent. The roll call, "give an important tip on microwave cooking, separating egg whites and yolks, or beating egg whites," was answered. Not microwaving foods in metal containers, letting the food stand for a minute after it is taken out of the microwave because it will still be cooking and using an electric mixer to beat egg whites instead of a whisk were some suggested tips. The leaders also offered some tips of their own. Bev suggested that beating egg whites in a plastic bowl might be difficult because if there was oil still in the plastic from other uses, the egg whites won't whip properly. The club then discussed Chicken and 1:44; Club how it is best to defrost chicken. When it is defrosted in the fridge it should be on a lower shelf to prevent it from dripping on other foods, especially raw foods. Another tip was to defrost it in the microwave for small intervals of time. Some microwaves also have a defrost button which is an asset. The club discussed the reasons why caution should be taken when heating an egg in the microwave. The main reason was because it would explode if it wasn't pierced with a fork first. Before the food was taste tested, the leaders made some announcements. The first was that there would be no meeting during the March Break. The other announcement was to bring an egg carton, flower or grass seeds, two hard boiled eggs and any crayons or markers, as the club would be making crafts at the next meeting. Everyone made their way out to the kitchen to try the food. It was a big hit. mwommommummie Meeting six of the Great Chicken and Egg Club was held on March 21 at Pat Saundercock's house. The meeting opened when President, Louise Lobb led the club in the 4-H pledge. The roll call, "suggest a use for the `leftovers' from eggs - egg shells and egg cartons," was answered. The most common suggested uses were crafts and compost. The minutes were read and approved. The meeting topic, "What's Left?" was then discussed. Some suggestions for chicken include sandwiches, casseroles and salads. Some uses for leftover yolks could be custards, meat leaf, omelets and sponge cakes. Uses of the white may include angel food cake, boiled frosting, souffles and pie crust. Leader Bev Broadfoot gave the club a handout with instructions on how to dye eggs using natural products. For a pink shade, soak the egg in cranberry juice or beet juice. For a lavender colour, soak the egg in grape juice. If a rich brown colour is desired, dip • the egg in coffee. Next it was time for the club to test their creativity. The club was divided into two groups. One group used an egg carton and egg shells to plant their favourite flower or plant, while the other group dyed and decorated their hard boiled eggs. Eggs were transformed from white eggs to blue, green, orange, pink and multicolour eggs. It was then time for the parents to arrive so the club members tidied up the kitchen. by Nicole Moore Local churches have busy Easter weekend St. Patrick's, Dublin, and St. Vincent de Paul, Mitchell, had a very busy Easter weekend.

President Tanner •Merner started the meeting off with the 4-H pledge and the three roll calls. Press Reporter Jessie Leeming read the minutes of the last meeting because the 4-11 Chinchilla Club Secretary Ian Murray was not there. We looked at the two chinchillas that Leader Ray brought in. We got to judge them to see which one was better looking, darker and bigger. These are the three things we should look for when we are judging chinchillas. Leader Barb showed us how to carefully take our chinchilla out of its cage and how to brush it. Next meeting will be a field trip on April 2.
