I guess our event was competing with the ever-popular TV-Turnoff Week. On April 4th, the Barstow kitchen will be filled with students eager to participate in one of many after-school activities that are designed to remind folks that DOING often beats WATCHING. Turning off the television in favor of real experiences is a choice that will likely be easy for students after a long winter - even with that winter being milder than most - and I am glad for the hands-on approach to free time.
Cookie baking for the Barstow Pillars group will wait until April 11 from 2:45-4:30.

"calling all cookie monsters!"
Who doesn't love a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie? We can't think of anyone, so we are going to spend an afternoon baking the cookie of our dreams. We will follow the basic Toll House cookie recipe, but we will feel free to introduce special ingredients, such as nuts, white chocolate, or oats, in order to satisfy each and every one of us to the max!
The students participating can expect to take home a container of cookies, and it is our hope to bake enough to share with classrooms.
April 4th will be the day the cafeteria staff shares their space and equipment with us, and we appreciate the welcome. This is an activity that would not be possible in a home kitchen, so we are grateful for the opportunity to use the roomy kitchen at Barstow with its over-sized bowls, baking sheets, and ovens. Can't wait to measure, mix, dollop, and bake (and I promise not to dip into the batter before baking...well, I'll try not to).
" C is for cookie, that's good enough for me, oh cookie, cookie, cookie start with C"
