Library Musings: Tis the season to CAN with canning books and a canning exchange
By Grand Forks and District Public Library
Hi Folks!
It’s that time of year again – gardens overflowing with vegetables, fruit trees bowled over with fruit, the farmers market stalls piled high with produce. And you might be asking yourself two questions: How’s my cooking? How’s my canning?
Cooking
We all fall into cooking ruts – making the same meals week after week, and it never hurts to have a little bit of extra inspiration. Which works out well, because we have the wonderfully inspiring and passionate Carolyn Herriot coming to the library on Saturday, September 7 at 3 pm to share from her newest book, The Zero-Mile Cookbook. Carolyn is the author of the bestselling A Year on the Garden Path, and The Zero-Mile Diet. She has regular columns in BC Living and Common Ground magazines, and runs a successful organic seed business in Victoria. Don’t miss it!
Canning
Come to our 2nd Annual Canning Exchange on Thursday, September 5 at 6:30 pm, for an evening discussion on all things canning. We’ll share recipes, tips, tricks and techniques. If you want, you can bring a jar to exchange – Bring us your pickles! Your jams! Your jellies, chutneys, and sauces!
Labour Day
The library will be closed on Saturday, August 31.
