SUMMARY:Culinary Historians of Canada (Virtual): A Certain Fascinating History of Saffron\, the World's Most Expensive Spice
DESCRIPTION:Food history writer Sam Bilton explores the history of saffron in England — and how it came to Canada\, as well! \nSaffron has allured us with its golden hues throughout time. It was the darling of the medieval kitchen\, the saviour of the apothecary’s chest and was used to give cloth a regal glow. Unlike many spices\, such as cinnamon\, nutmeg and cloves\, saffron could be successfully grown in England. From the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century there was a thriving saffron industry in there. Some people even claimed English saffron was the best to be found in the world. But as tastes changed from the medieval to the modern\, saffron in English and Anglo-Saxon kitchens fell out of favour. Given its lavish reputation as the most expensive spice in the world it is not surprising that many people who cook in Western European style no longer have it in their spice cupboard. \nSam Bilton aims to change that. She will talk about how a few saffron fronds can make your repast a thing of great beauty and wonder to your dinner guests. And how we modern cooks can enjoy a taste of the Middle Ages with just a pinch of spice. \n‘Food writer Sam Bilton is researching historic saffron recipes and has found cream-and-egg custards\, crispy pastry-based pea tartlets\, and venison stew topped with herby saffron dumplings.’ Sue Bailey\, The Lady

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Thunder Bay Museum (In-Person and Virtual): Dr. Peter Raffo - Naming the New City at the Lakehead
DESCRIPTION:The Free Public Lecture by Dr. Peter Raffo titled ‘Naming the New City at the Lakehead’ scheduled for 24 January has\, unfortunately\, been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and will be rescheduled for a future date and time. Please keep an eye out for email announcements of a new date.\nThank you for your understanding. \n\nThis will be a in-person event that is free to view.  Please note that the lecture will be following the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society’s Annual General Meeting which runs from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.  The lecture will be broadcast live via ZOOM for those who cannot attend in-person and recorded and posted to the Museum’s YouTube at a later date. \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WEBINAR\n  \nDescription: \nHow did Thunder Bay get its name? Why were two almost identical names placed on the ballot when citizens were asked to make their choice from three options in the 1969 plebiscite?  Was the result contrived by local and provincial politicians who wanted a clean break with the past? Or was it a genuine expression of the electors’ will? \nDr. Raffo seeks answers and discovers some interesting new evidence. \nSpeaker Bio: \nSince 1970\, Peter has maintained a continuing interest in the amalgamation of the Twin Cities. He has published several articles in Papers and Records on the history and consequences of this seminal event in the life of Thunder Bay.  In 1995 he oversaw the creation of an Oral History of Amalgamation\, which included interviews with politicians\, city administrators and staff who had been involved in the process.
