SUMMARY:Romanian Pies (plăcinte) with Irina Georgescu
DESCRIPTION:Online Cooking Class with Irina Georgescu\n \nOur Romanian cooking series with Irina Georgescu continues! \nThere’s nothing more Romanian than the pies called plăcinte. Prized as an easy-to-eat\, satisfying street food staple\, plăcinte also take different forms across the country. \nTogether with author Irina Georgescu\, you will bake one of the most popular plăcinte: Romanian apple pie. \nIt features a not-too-sweet filling studded with raisins and walnuts that allows the apples to take centre stage.

You will learn about the rich ethnic diversity of this region in Romania\, and the variations of this iconic pastry. If you can resist eating them as soon as they’re done\, Irina will also teach you a quick cabbage slaw with a refreshing dressing that pairs perfectly with the rich\, cheesy pastry. \nIn this course\, you will make: \nApple pie\, plăcintă cu mere \nFried cheese pie\, șuberec \nCabbage salad\, salată de varză \nThe menu is for 4 people. The dishes are vegetarian but not dairy and gluten-free.

SUMMARY:International Children's Friendship Festival
DESCRIPTION:ARCS is excited to participate at this year’s International Children’s Friendship Festival! We will share a table with members from the local Moldovan community to promote Romania and Moldova\, so please come stop by! \nInternational Children’s Friendship Festival is an event that is run by children and features performances by children. Various nationalities are represented through music\, folk dancing and art. The children celebrate their international friendship through experiencing the rich tapestry of the world’s cultures. \nThe event is well-established and recognized in the Northwest as a volunteer-run festival with a loyal crowd and an increasing number of new children every year. The festival is annually recognized by proclamations of several elected officials in Washington State. \nThe event is free and open to the public. \nOur reach goes beyond the borders of Washington State\, all the way to the other side of the world.  Over the years we have had the pleasure to host guests performers from Republic of Seychelles\, Mongolia and Mexico. They’ve come all the way to Seattle to share their culture with the children of Pacific Northwest.  Not only was this a once in a lifetime experience for those children\, but it also provided an opportunity for the local children to mingle with and learn about people from very different backgrounds. \nLearn more about the festival here.
