In addition to the food ones, I'm probably going to check out the Food & Theology lecture, the Justice & the Environment lecture and the "Make Your Own Household Cleaners" workshop. I'm also definitely taking a water safety course so I can borrow a canoe or kayak this summer. Looking at 5/21 for that.
For those with houses and yards, there's some more in-depth gardening courses.
There's a cost for some of these, but remember membership is a BARGAIN at $25 which will will offset some costs.
I sent this out to several friends of mine, but if you are just a blog reader and interested in learning food preservation with me, let me know.
