Tuesday Isnt So Bad Especially with Tuesdays2 A fun, interactive Zoom series from CCE Schoharie and Otsego

Tuesday isn’t so bad—it means you survived Monday! And now every Tuesday this winter it’s even better with Tuesdays@2, a fun, interactive, free Zoom series from CCE Schoharie and Otsego Counties.

Reasons to celebrate are always welcome, celebrations often involve food, and Tuesdays@2 is no exception. Every Tuesday for about an hour, starting on January 5th, 2021, a different holiday will be celebrated using food, recipes and nutrition information that will be useful every day. From National Soup Month to National Something-on-a-Stick Day, and including more well-known holidays like George Washington’s Birthday (did you know that one of his favorite foods was hoecakes?), each meeting will include a food demonstration, recipes appropriate to the topic/holiday, and nutrition information to encourage healthy eating.

Eaters from teens to seniors are sure to find them engaging and useful, and are welcome to attend one, some, or all of them. There is no fee to participate, but you must register to get the Zoom link. Those interested can register or learn more at www.cceschoharie-otsego.org/Tuesdays@2 or can contact Kimberly Ferstler at kmf239@cornell.edu or (518) 234-4303 x 120.
