SUMMARY:July Cookbook Club
DESCRIPTION:July’s Cookbook | Quick and Delicious by Gordon Ramsey \nDo you love food? Join the book club that involves eating\, recipe sharing\, and fun! Check out the book\, pick a recipe to prepare and meet at the library for a potluck dinner party hosted at the library. You bring the food and conversation\, we supply everything else. Come hungry\, there is plenty to eat! New members always welcome to join. \nFAQs \n\n\n\n\nWhere do I find the book? The selected book is available at the library’s front desk to make photocopies or check out.  There may be other cookbooks by the same author or alternative cookbooks with the same type of food available as well. \n\n\nDo I have to bring a dish to share? No\, but it is very much encouraged. The more recipes to share and discuss\, the more fun. \n\n\nMay I make a recipe not from the selected book? Yes. We encourage you to use the chosen book\, but do not feel pressure if you are not able to. \n\n\nDo I have to follow the recipe exactly? No! Use substitutions as you see fit\, but PLEASE inform everyone in case of allergies\, food aversions\, etc. \n\n\nI have a food aversion or allergy\, can I still come? Yes! Although there may be food that isn’t a part of your diet there will be plenty of conversation and fun for all. \n\n\nWhat else do I need to bring? The library provides plates\, napkins\, serving utensils\, power outlets\, microwave\, and most other neccesities. \n\n\nHow do I know that someone won’t make the same dish as me? That is a risk that we will just have to take. Sometimes dishes may be duplicated\, but that is okay.

For fourteen years she dispensed advice about behavior problems\, and information about animal behavior research\, on Wisconsin Public Radio’s Calling All Pets\, which was heard in over 110 cities around the country. She continues to enjoy radio appearances\, including on Wisconsin Public Radio’s The Larry Meiller Show. \nA highly-sought after speaker\, McConnell has presented seminars all over the United States\, and in Canada\, Germany\, Australia\, Sweden\, Belgium\, Scotland and New Zealand. Retired from seeing cases in 2018\, Patricia stays active by writing a popular blog\, The Other End of the Leash\, making numerous appearances on podcasts\, speaking about her books and animal behavior\, and having an active social media presence. \nPatricia received her Ph.D. in Zoology in 1988 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, researching dog behavior and communication between professional trainers and working domestic animals. Her dissertation received the prestigious Allee Award from the Animal Behavior Society that same year. Patricia co-founded Dog’s Best Friend\, Ltd in 1988\, now owned and operated by Aimee Moore (see their website for more information about dog training classes and behavior consultations in the Madison\, WI area). Patricia and her husband\, Jim\, have two dogs and a very spoiled flock of sheep on a small farm in Southwestern Wisconsin. Her gardens and her beloved Border Collies\, Maggie and Skip\, keep her outside and active. Trisha suffers from Separation Anxiety each time she leaves her farm\, but loves continuing to spread the word about the joys of understanding the animals around us. \nSource: https://www.patriciamcconnell.com/about-patricia/
