The Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service begins its five-month series Cooking with Cultures on Saturday morning at the South Waco Library. They’ll demonstrate how to cook each dish while focusing on the culture it represents. The focus for January’s class is India. (And yes, there will be samples!) Upcoming topics include Central Mexico, Poland, and the Philippines.
Even better, classes are free and don’t require advance registration.
Fiery blues band Pride & Joy is a family affair with bass player Tony Castaneda joined by his sons John on drums and Chris on guitar. While their early set lists leaned heavily on Stevie Ray Vaughn songs, over the years they’ve expanded their repertoire to include more originals.
If you’re in downtown Waco this Saturday night, don’t miss your chance to see them at Twisted Sisters Patio Bar.
On Monday night, Fabled hosts local author Kimberly McMillan as she discusses her just-published novel, Never Enough Time. Told from multiple perspectives, it’s an emotional coming-of-age story that demonstrates the power of familial relationships despite complicated differences.
Get your tickets now, however, as they’re going fast!
