And the desserts? We've asked God to bless them and remove the calories! See you this Friday, October 5th."

No Need to Knead

Few of us can resist the aroma of fresh bread. Make plans to attend a demonstration by Joyce Kidd on BREAD MAKING, the first in a series of food presentations, offered by the Heritage Association of San Marcos Guild.

The event will take place on Saturday, September 29th from 9:00AM to 11:30AM at the Cock House Museum located at 400 E. Hopkins St. Cost for the event is $12.00. Space is limited.

Contact Diane at 512-618-2890 to reserve your seat today.

Joyce will show us an easy method of preparing artisan bread. She will also share with
us one of her favorite cake bread recipes. After the bake, we will take a taste. Coffee, tea,
and water will be provided. Guests will receive recipe instructions to take home.

Joyce Kidd is well known by many San Marcos residents for her pastries and desserts.
She first served her delectable food at an elegant Christmas dinner for the Heritage
Association. She opened the Tea Room at the Antique Outlet Center and after a short
“retirement” reopened the Tea Room at the Price Senior Center. Joyce has officially
retired, but remarked “I don’t believe anyone in San Marcos enjoys baking more than I
do”.

Lunches at the Cottage Kitchen return from summer vacation on September. Every summer, the little house on Hopkins Street takes a two month hiatus for some rest and relaxation.  During July and August of this year, the front porch was repaired and painted, and the kitchen floor was shored up.  Guild members also did a thorough cleaning.

Horizon Bay Retirement Living will host the lunch on Friday, September 7th with a menu that includes brisket and all the trimmings.  The chef at Horizon Bay will be preparing the brisket on their own smoker.  Beans and potato salad will round out the menu.

So call your friends and make a date to enjoy the best lunch deal in town.  Only $7.00 for a delicious hot meal, iced tea, coffee and a yummy homemade dessert of your choice.  The entire $7.00 goes to the Heritage Association.  Hours are 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

See you there!
