On Saturday May 5th two families from the Seabreeze Chapter met up with the five members of the North Texas Prairie Dog Chapter to do a demonstration for the 150 or so members of the G&CICA that were in attendance at their yearly national convention. The G&CICA is a group of about 800 cast iron cookware collectors from all over the USA. Some cook in their cast iron but many just collect and display it. Our demo drew a crowd for about three hours and it was a big hit with those attending the convention. I have already had a phone call on Monday evening from a couple that live in Indiana.
Those at the demonstration were treated to samples of Sandra Butler's cakes and Alice Gidney's bread. Sandra made a chocolate chip cake and an amaretto cake. Alice made three big loaves of bread and hand churned butter. She made a cherry almond filled, a peach pecan filled and an apricot walnut filled braided bread. Kenneth Butler cooked up a pot of pasta fagioli soup and pigs in a blanket. The North Texas Prairie Dog Chapter made coffee cake, peach cobbler, banana cake, and cocktail meatballs. Fun was had by all and who knows, each group may gain some new members from this gathering of the two clubs.
