Baking day this Sunday, June 13, at Noon
What goes well with fresh, Oregon strawberries in June? Angel food cake! Join us Sunday, June 13 at noon and learn to make angel food cake. All bakers and observers are welcome! You will need some special equipment—an angel food cake pan with removable insert, a wine bottle to hold the pan upside down, a stand (or other) mixer, and a mesh strainer. Visit a local farmers market, farm or your favorite store for strawberries or other berries. Start gathering your baking ingredients: cake flour (not all-purpose), extra fine granulated sugar (or pulverize regular sugar in a food processor), 12 eggs at room temperature, cream of tartar, salt, pure vanilla extract, almond extract, and confectioner sugar. Note: cake flour and extra fine granulated sugar can be found at your local store, such as Fred Meyer. Join the session at this  Zoom link .

Movie Group is taking a short summer break--next meeting on Wednesday, June 30 at 7 PM
For Wed. 6/30, New Zealand documentary: Gloriavale: A World Apart
For Wed. 7/7: A biographical drama: Milk
In this documentary (first episode in a series of three) we visit Gloriavale, a closed community of Christian fundamentalists living on New Zealand’s isolated West Coast. This is a world untouched by feminism, where women live in submission to men, welcome every baby as a gift from God, and work each day for the benefit of others while they wait for the world to end. Watch the show or series on your own (free on Amazon Prime) then sign into Zoom at 7 PM on Wednesday, 6/30 to discuss—Zoom link here.
