Teaching Floyd: Classes Are Back On Track

After a brief break to get my sh*t back together, classes are resuming with the Home Food Preservation & Culinary Arts Center.  Thanks, everybody, for your patience.

And Zack, out there somewhere in northern VA who called last week about the wine vinegar class, I got your email wrong and it bounced. Please email me at hfpcac at swva dot net and I'll get your info to you!

With no further ado, the class this weekend is:

August 17: Dehydration 101

Dehydration is one of the easiest of food preservation methods. Learn the basics for drying fruits, vegetables and jerky using a dehydrator or oven. Kids and adults love snacks like dried apples, tomato and kale chips, and fruit leathers. Here they are, guilt-free! Discover how you can make your own paprika, garlic powder, and other spices!  Class is hands-on. Please wear comfortable closed toe shoes. An apron is suggested but optional. Class size is limited so please register early.
