Two Cooking Ideas for the story of Ruth

I know "bread" projects in the Cooking Workshop are over-done, but Ruth and Naomi WERE gleaning grains in Boaz' field.

We tried grinding flour for a "daily bread" lesson in rotation last year and thought it was too time consuming. The grinding equipment is scarce too.

After we did the lesson I thought we had missed a golden opportunity.

We should have created a "sourdough starter"  which can be used to leaven a loaf you make at home and "share" forward the flavors. A 'starter' is a "source'.  Lots of good metaphor there to work with!

Using re-usable grocery bags, decorate them with the message of Ruth, and the idea of "GLEANING"  ...with the idea that members would "glean" from their pantries and bring back the Ruth & Naomi Bags for a food drive.   (You could put some sourdough starter in the bags to go home.)

You can order blank grocery bags online very cheap.
