About the Instructor: Lacey Squier loves cooking food of all kinds. She is an amateur cook who spends much of her free time learning how to recreate dishes from her favorite restaurant and travel experiences. “It is liberating to realize you can have anything you want for dinner … as long as you’re willing to make it yourself!”

When not experimenting with food at home (and making a huge mess of her kitchen), Lacey likes to take walks or go on a hike with her spouse, Eric, and their dog Wendell. Lacey works at Ely Family Dental and serves as a member of the Ely Folk School Board.

We’re excited to have you join us, so please register here!

Announcing Another Ely Folk School Online Class!

Learn to Make a Lemon Custard Pie

with Lacey Squier

Lacey received rave reviews for her biscuit and gravy class, so you won’t want to miss this one. This is a live Zoom class, so she’ll be able to answer your questions as she leads the way to making a beautiful, flaky pie crust, the sign of a skilled baker. You’ll fill it with a delicious lemon custard, and your shelter-mates will adore you. The class will conclude when you’re ready to put it in the oven. The ingredients are listed below so you can stock up, or you can try it on your own if you can’t make the class.

Even though it’s free, you do still need to register to receive a Zoom invitation to have access to the class. If you’re not sure how that works, just reply to this email with your questions or call Betty at 218-235-0138.
