Blackstock Busy Bakers by Amy Aldred On Tuesday, March 22, the 4- H Busy Bakers held our second meeting. It was just as great as the first one, maybe even better. After the president called the meeting to order, roll call "What's your favorite kind of muffin?" was taken. A lot of peo- ple said chocolate chip. Then we splitinto groups. One went with our youth leader Andrea Johns, one with Mrs. Johns and the other with Mrs. Shortridge. Then we would switch. Our youth leader's group made blue- berry muffins, Mrs. John's made peanut butter and jam muffins and Mrs. Shortridge's group made date muffins. When we were finished, we got to taste the muffins. They were fantas- tic! Our next meeting will be Tuesday, March 29. 1 can't wait. the Yuk Yuk night. The hall simply won't hold anymore un- der the building and fire inspec- tion laws.
