My first attempt at making bagels and dad's dehydrated apples and bananas.  Hermano Hector owns a bakery and asked us for ideas to add variety, and president Avila asked us to teach the members how to preserve food.  These are experiments to see if either has potential.

The bagels look funky, but tasted good.  I dipped them in egg white and then sesame seeds or cinnamon and sugar.  Chewy and crispy.



Dad is doing cilantro from the garden.  People are harvesting radishes, cilantro, and jicama from our
gardens now.  Those who stuck with it are very happy about it.  Maybe the others will see the success and decide to join the next time.

This guy has been harvesting radishes for a while.  He's pretty excited about it.

This garden has radishes, squash, cilantro, and pole beans growing.

Cilantro from our garden.

Breakfast with our homemade bagels.

I guess he likes it.

I made cinnamon rolls also and got a thumbs up.  Some of the ladies just want to learn how tomake some of these things, in a regular cooking class.  Some times these people are all talk and no show, so we shall see.

I made a coconut pie for Christmas, tried it on the elders, and they went crazy over it!!  Of all things, coconut pie!
