CRMA Doodlebugs via Zoom: Grant's Gothic Glass
<p>Grant Wood’s most famous artwork is “American Gothic,” named for the pointy window behind the farmer and lady in the painting. But did you know Grant also created windows? See some of his stained glass work and then make a gothic-style “window” you can hang in your home!</p><p>Supplies: To do the art project along with Miss Erin, you’ll need these materials at the ready: Plastic zippie bags, permanent markers like Sharpies (washable or water-based markers won’t work on plastic), pencil & scratch paper, tape. If you don’t want to use permanent markers, you can also do this project using washable markers on regular copy paper, or any thinner paper that lets light shine through when you hold it up to a window.</p><p>https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5695519009?pwd=NFpuVEJEOUdNZXNJWUY0ZjVKRE5ydz09</p><p>Meeting ID: 569 551 9009</p><p>Passcode: Doodlebugs</p> 2021-01-27 11:30:00 -06002/26/2110:30 a.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -

Karbenátky: Czech “Burger” served with Mashed Potatoes
<p>February 24 @ 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM</p><p>Our popular virtual cooking classes are back!</p><p>Burgers are extremely popular in the USA and this class will be about a traditional Czech burger called “karbenátek.” No, Czechs didn’t copy the American idea, but instead invented their own delicious and very flavorful version of a burger patty. Karbenátky usually consists of delicious beef and pork, and a bunch of other ingredients and seasoning. Instead of serving in a bun, this burger variation is served with supper creamy mashed potatoes!</p><p><strong>Note</strong>: <strong>Not</strong> suitable for vegetarians.</p><p><br></p><p>Cook and eat an authentic Czech and Slovak dish from the comfort of your home. Join us on Zoom and learn from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka in these hands-on interactive classes.</p><p>Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company, which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone.</p> 2021-02-12 20:30:00 -06002/24/216:00 p.m.National Czech & Slovak Museum & LibraryCedar Rapids -
