Marlborough – For the fifth year in a row, the Thanksgiving holiday will be made just a bit sweeter and a lot less stressful for those who choose to let the Culinary Arts students and staff at Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School (AVRTHS) in Marlborough do the baking for them.
Imagine that trip over the river and through the woods to the family feast, carrying a beautiful fruit-topped cheesecake, delectable carrot cake, or chocolate cream pie with real whipped cream topping. Complement the meal with fresh bread or dinner rolls, or start the day with some cinnamon coffee cake or breakfast Danish. What a delight when dessert is served, and there are cookies, fruit pies, cream puffs, angel food cakes or French pastries. Don's forget to save a few brownies as a treat for yourself when that last pot or platter is washed and put away. And if shopping on Black Friday is your thing, reward yourself with a cup of coffee and a leftover whoopee pie when you get back home.
The doors to the Epicurean Room restaurant (at the back of the school) will open to the public Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 9 a.m. and will close when the goodies are gone or at 1 p.m., whichever comes first. Plan to come early before the pies, cakes and more are sold out.
ARVTHS is located at 215 Fitchburg St. in Marlborough, convenient to routes 495, 290 and 85.
