Cooking with Darlas..........


Last week we had our “Cooking with Darlas” program at the Clemson Extension Building. This is one of our most popular activities of the Summer Reading Program. Darlas Moore, Clemson Extension Agent, leads the youngsters through the preparation of an entire meal. She shows how to properly measure ingredients, proper food handling and sanitation. Because the theme of this year’s Summer Reading Program is “One World – Many Stories” Darlas planned an international menu. The children made a Mexican Eggroll, Chinese Rice and German Streusel. Of course the best part was, that after all their hard work, the youngsters got to EAT their efforts! We will have another “Cooking with Darlas” program on July 21st. If you would like to participate, please sign up at the Library – there is a limited number of spaces.
