Quilting & Conversation Series 2023
Griffin Nordstrom here in the final days of my Americorps term with the Beverly Heritage Center. In June and July I was very pleased to be able to collaborate with local artists and businesses in Randolph County to share stories and advice about working with fibers arts and its local history during our Quilting and Conversation series. Over the course of a few weeks, we held eight Facebook Live sessions with guests of various backgrounds and experience with fiber arts (for two, it was actually their first time quilting!) All of these videos have been saved on the Beverly Heritage…
Beverly Cooks! : Spoon Corn Bread
With the (relative) success of the 1950 Tuna Fish Loaf recipe, I got a bit more ambitious and took on another 1950 recipe, this one a ‘Spoon Corn Bread’ by Mrs. Willa Hill, also from the 1988 Beverly Presbyterian Church cookbook as a returning recipe from the 1950 edition. It did not work out, but I am not sure whether that was user error or the fault of the recipe. Ingredients 1 cup corn meal, 1 cup boiling water, 1 cup sweet milk, 2 eggs, butter (size of an egg), 1 tsp. sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 4 tsp (level) baking…

Beverly Cooks! : Tuna Fish Loaf
In our role as a Heritage Center, we aim to not only use traditional history documentation with artifacts and info panels, but provide a living understanding of the community and present the stories of Beverly and Randolph County in alternative methods. As a part of these efforts I will be conducting a mini foodways series using recipes sourced from Beverly’s community. With all this, I want to acknowledge that I am not an experienced cook, and have chosen recipes that require amateur understanding of technique and tools. There are many more complex dishes in this community that better chefs could…
