BBC Regulars – Upcoming Events
In 2008, for the first time in history, more books were self-published than those published traditionally. With self-publishing (also called “alternative” or “independent” publishing), the author is responsible for the entire process, including design (cover/interior), formats, price, distribution, marketing and PR. Authors can do it all themselves or outsource all or part of the process. In this workshop, we explore why small businesses would want to use independent-publishing services and navigate some of the choices and issues.
Over the next several weeks, Schmidt’s Home Appliance will be providing “how-to” cooking classes by some of the most popular local restaurants, bakeries and chefs, preparing some of their favorite recipes, using the appliances at our retail store. On June 26th, 2012 Chef Roberta S. Lang will be making Roasted Figs with Gorgonzola; prepared with figs, gorgonzola or other Bleu Cheese, and walnuts. Absolutely delicious! Chef Roberta will also be preparing Sweet-Potato Quesadillas made with onions, cloves, salsa, and lot’s more. What a treat! (Both recipes will be available following her demonstration.) So, come and check out Chef Roberta’s recipes, bring a friend, introduce yourself to our staff and enjoy! We look forward to seeing you!
