Belgrade Breakfast Club October 27, 2022 7:00-8:30 AM Join us for a hot breakfast right off the grill! Special: Pumpkin Spice Pancakes ---PAGE BREAK--- Cooking Class October 28, 2022 1:00 PM Consider the Consommé When it comes to soup, the sky is the limit. A flavorful base, a hearty amount of proteins and/or vegeta- bles, spices, herbs and a hot but- tered biscuit on the side - you can’t beat it on a cold winter evening. This month we will put together 3 different types of soup: Broth, Cream & Chowder. You may have a favorite soup recipe or two you want to share so bring those with you! And yes, we will have hot but- tered biscuits on the side! The Story of Stone Soup (one of many variations) Once upon a time, there was a great famine. The people in one small village didn't have enough to eat, and definitely not enough to store away for the winter. People were afraid their families would go hungry, so they hid the small amounts of food they did have. They even hid their food from their friends and neighbors. One day a wandering soldier came into the village. He asked the different people he met about find- ing a place to eat and sleep for the night. "There's not a bite to eat in the whole county," they told him. "You better keep moving on." "Oh, I have everything I need," he said. "In fact, I would like to make some stone soup to share with all of you." He pulled a big black cooking pot from his wagon. He filled it with water and built a fire un- der it. Then, he reached slowly into his knapsack and, while several villagers watched, he pulled a plain gray stone from a cloth bag and dropped it into the water. By now, hearing about the magic stone, most of the villagers were surrounding the soldier and his cooking pot. As the soldier sniffed the stone soup and licked his lips, the villagers began to overcome their lack of trust. "Ahh," the soldier said aloud to himself, "I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone soup with cab- bage is even better." Soon a villager ran from his house into the village square, holding a cabbage. "I have this cabbage from my garden." he said as he held it out for the soldier. "Fantastic!" cried the sol- dier. The soldier cut up the cabbage and added it to the pot. "You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and a bit of beef, and it was delicious." The butcher said he thought he could find some beef scraps. As he ran back to his shop, other villagers offered bits of vegetables from their own gardens-- potatoes, onions, carrots, celery. Soon the big black pot was bubbling and steaming. When the soup was ready, everyone in the village ate a bowl of soup, and it was delicious. The villagers offered the soldier money and other treasures for the magic stone, but he refused to sell it. He had many offers for a cot to sleep on that night. The next day he traveled on his way.

Thank you TO those who stopped by and made the day extra special! And One More Glorious Day! We were able to slip in an end of season trip to Gates of the Mountains. It was raining in Belgrade and the smoke was very thick. As we made our way toward Helena, the rain stopped, we could see a hint of sky through the haze and we began to hold out hope that the day might turn out nice after all. Nice is an understatement! It was perfect! The air was almost clear and the tour was breathtaking!
