The monthly meeting of the Bloomingdale Women’s Institute was held at the home of Brenda Hallman on Monday, March 9th at 5:30 p.m. It was interesting to hear the stories of the members favourite food from their childhood which was the roll call. Grace Alton & Brenda Hallman made 5 delicious Caribbean dishes for all the members to enjoy.  These dishes were – Black Beans and Rice, 5 ingredient Mango Salsa, Caribbean-Spiced Sweet Potatoes, Jerk Chicken and finished the meal of with Bananas Foster.  These dishes were enjoyed by all.
