HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. April 30. 1959 Chats With Your Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS If anyone passed by the little park behind the Morrow county courthouse on April 22, I'm sure they thought It was just another picnic. But this one was differ entit was a picnic with a pur pose! The picnic was a project train ing meeting for the Morrow coun ty extension units on barbecuing their unit lesson for May. With the generous assistance of D E Hudson, courthouse care taker, we set up shop for the day by the spacious fireplace (which even had running water). A.; manner of charcoal burners were used, varying from the courthouse wheelbarrow and a 5 gallon grease pail up to an elaborate grill complete with hood and an electrically turned spit. Funny part, each served equally well. The 18 project leaders were divided into four groups to pre pare an outdoor meal that con sisted of barbecued chicken, shish kabobs, foil grilled vege tables and fruit, ala pllaf, toast ed garlic bread, fruit dumplings and campfire coffee. The Oregon extension depart ment has printed a new pam phlet called "Outdoor Cookery for the Family" which Is excel-, lent. It Includes Information on equipment for outdoor cooking, meat buying guide, tips on bar becuing meat, suggested menus, recipes, and outdoor cookery for large groups. These bulletins will be distributed to all the unit members at their May lesson. We have a few extra copies at the county agent's office so If you'd like one Just call In. More and more families are discovering the enjoyment and pleasure of cooking food out doors. It fits with our pattern of living In Oregon, doesn't It?
