This is from Sandra:

My apologies for not posting sooner!

The tour of the Farmers Cooperative Creamery is set for today, Monday, March 15, at 4:00 pm. I hope that works for everyone. The creamery has a shift change at 5:00 pm so we need to start by at least 4:00 pm to allow enough time to finish. We will be required to wear the supplied booties and hairnets. No open-toed shoes or loose, dangly jewelry will be allowed.

The address of the creamery is 700 NE Hwy 99W, and their phone is 503-472-2157 if anyone has questions.

Angel Food Cake: Devilishly Easy?

Well, well. This one is quite brief. I personally have many questions about it, but I will wait for the meeting.

BTW, would anyone care if we started a sheet to help us evaluate us in judgments of baked goods? It would help us to remember what each person did and/or learned from the experience.

Happy baking!
