Zombie Christmas

Because people like to make salsa
Dec. 29, 6:30 pm
This free class at Meadowridge Library, 5726 Raymond Rd., goes beyond the typical pico de gallo (not that there’s anything wrong with that). The good folks from El Grito Taqueria will demo salsas that use a combination of fresh and dried chilies and discuss other everyday Mexican food staples. Please RSVP at 608-288-6160.
No Huet? Yes Huet!
Jan. 6, 6 pm
