Scotch Eggs

Portable Food.....that was the incentive for making the original Scotch Egg many years ago.  What is a Scotch Egg.....you can think of it as "Breakfast in your hand".  Simply stated it is a hard boiled egg, wrapped in pork sausage, coated in bread crumbs and fried to a golden brown.  They can also serve as a great portable snack food.  Marsha Dugger showed us step-by-step how to make Scotch Eggs....then we got to eat them.  Needless to say this was a mmm mmm good class.  Check out the recipe here.

Beginning Birdwatching

We were thrilled to have Professor Tim Sebesta share his love of birds with the ALL members.  Evidently we have a lot of bird enthusiasts in our group.  Tim gave us a lesson in how to identify birds (start with the shape) and also played several bird calls for us to identify.  Look at his attached presentation for more info.  Go to the websites he recommends at the end of his presentation to get started with your bird watching.
