You could maybe do a live video stream or something similar.
But I'm not sure how you guys normally do the cooking club though.

It's text-based, on this thread. Antipova will have done this over the weekend and set up step-by-step instructions. The cooking isn't live, but the discussion is.

That actually sounds awesome!

I will have to ask you all to help me brainstorm a short recipe for one of the next months.

Or if I had you do the prep (like cutting vegetables) in advance, we could try some kind of stir-fry?

I love love love Halloween. I've never really made a lot of treats for it though so I'm super excited about this.

One day I'll have to break out the chocolate molds and make some interesting candies.

Following the truffle instructions from last February?

Hi everyone! As everybody trickles in, if you feel comfortable sharing, what are you dressing up as for Halloween?

Hmmm not sure yet. We're probably going to end up staying in, so probably something slinky and sexy from here.

The forum has been kind of slow all day. Looks like there was a ton of activity over the weekend though.

It's fall break where I'm at, my work has been dead all day too. Just a quiet spell, I suppose

Well, I've got friends dressing up as a Higgs Boson Trio, and I'm super excited about that. Myself, I'm just going to be a prospector.

Welcome to the October meeting of Eden Cooks! I think this might be my one-year anniversary as club leader, even

Do learn something topical, fun, and super-fast, we're going to take a look at popcorn balls today!

If you're expecting trick-or-treaters, and you hate dropping double digits on fun-sized candy bars, try making popcorn balls. You can get corn, sugar, and syrup enough to feed 60 people for just $6. Also, if you've never popped your own popcorn on the stovetop before, it can be a lot of fun to see how heat transforms the little seeds.

But look what I brought for my quick treat. We do these fruits spiders every year, and my kids and their friends love making and eating them.

Peanut butter and apples are fabulous together! I also like ants on a log!

We always make popcorn on the stove, but never made a popcorn ball.
