Our September meeting started off with guest
speaker Sadie Kendall from Kendall Farms. Sadie presented her outstanding Crème
Frachie and demonstrated several new ways to utilize their product. Visit their
website for recipes and more information: www.kendallfarmscremefraiche.com
Our dinner was catered by Renton Technical College and the award winning Veraci
pizza. Marshall Jett and his crew fired up his wood-fired pizza oven and cooked
up some fantastic artisan pizza for all our members. Delicious!! Thank you all
