Hartford Women's Club Hosts "Iron Chef" Competition

Last year's competition did not take place as our usual Christmas party, so the club decided to do it during the summer. This year's "Secret Ingredient" was corn.  Many great appetizers, salads, main dishes, drinks, and desserts were made by club members for our annual event.

Deb Holtan took first place with her Forbidden Sour drink.  Kathy Vogelsang took second with her caramel popcorn/puffed caramel corn, and Sue Endquist took third for her lemon cornmeal cookies.  All the dishes were delicious and calories were not counted by
anyone!

Afterwards a gift exchange took place.  Fun was had all around!!!
