The Family and Consumer Sciences Department celebrated the Centennial year with a special cooking event through the resource and family management class. This class teaches students how to buy ingredients and cook recipes according to budgets they are given for the lab every week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Junior Elly Harper said they have spices and basics like flour and sugar in the lab but that they budget to buy all other ingredients at Walmart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the last two weeks, students were assigned recipes from the Harding cookbook, which was created by the Associated Women for Harding. Each recipe was contributed by women connected to Harding, many of them alumni. The first edition was published in 1965, and the most recent fourth edition was released in 2009. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Megan Jones, the instructor for the resource and family management class, had the idea to use recipes from the cookbook and invite the contributors back as a way to celebrate the Centennial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just wanted to connect the students with some of the ladies that have been associated with Harding for a long time and have connections and [have] submitted a recipe so that they can just talk about their experience at Harding or the special experience with the recipe,\u201d Jones said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With her group in the class, Harper prepared feta pasta from the Harding cookbook, salad and bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have two hours to work and prepare the meal and set everything up, and [the alumni] come in the last hour and everyone will eat together and just get to talking,\u201d Harper said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman Arianna Parker said she enjoyed talking with the alumna whose recipe she cooked during class and that this event is something she hopes the class will continue doing in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEverything was completely different when she was a student, so I think it\u2019s cool to see her surprise that we made the recipe,\u201d Parker said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Family and Consumer Sciences Department is focused on how food can be a ministry at Harding and serve the Searcy community. Jones said the FCS-SA prepares frozen meals for different organizations around Searcy. They have worked with Sparrow\u2019s Promise and are working with Downtown Church of Christ and The Table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have hands-on activities just building those skills but also really serving the people around us, and that\u2019s really important to us and community and connection,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI think this is the perfect event.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
