TACOS!!

The Culinary Arts Club had a fantastic afternoon yesterday cooking up tacos from scratch.  We used a variety of spices to recreate the taste you get in a taco seasoning packet without all the added salt and the girls loved it!!  Some of the braver souls tasted vegetarian tacos which consisted of a traditional taco made with a substance called vegetarian crumble. There was no consensus however how it tasted, some thought it was "gross" and others felt they couldn't tell the difference between the vegetarian crumble and hamburger meat.

Our next meeting will March 28 where we will be baking cup cakes and perhaps if there is time learning a bit about cake decorating!!

EMPTY BOWLS DINNER APRIL 1ST @ 5:30 p.m. in the THMS cafetaria!!!

We just had a very successful meeting on March 7th.  The club made Chicken Noodle Soup which the students thoroughly enjoyed eating afterward.  This soup was made in preparation for our Empty Bowls Dinner which will take place on April 1st.  The club will be meeting on March 26th to make soup for this dinner so we have been testing out a variety of soup recipes in preparation for this event. 

On March 14th the THMS Culinary Arts Club will be making scones and finger sandwiches and having a tea party!
