Save Dec. 12 for a date with Chef H.J. Schumer at the Library Center.
He’ll show us how to whip up stunning-but-easy hors d’oeuvres even when you’re pressed for time during “Hors D’oeuvres on the Fly” at 7 p.m. in the auditorium.
The Price Cutter Taste Culinary Classroom chef will show you the ingredients, demonstrate how to pull them together, and let you feast on the finished product. Registration is required; call 882-0714.
