Adult Cooking Night

Monday, October 20 @ 7:00

Welcome to The Copeland Taqueria. This month we are cooking and sampling Tacos. Our cookbooks are in for you to peruse and choose. Submit your recipe to Linda prior to the meeting so she can compile a list of the recipes. After tasting and socializing we discuss what we did and did not like about the recipe.

Any questions ask Linda. We are always glad to welcome new cooks!
