And what you're not good at you can learn. The Chairperson herself has taught others cross-stitching and also put together an evening programme of folklore, showing folkloristic films shot many decades ago. These energetic young ladies sometimes even recruit their boyfriends to present evening programmes at the Club. And, being Marthas, their programme usually includes food. For example, we may choose a particular country for the theme of a club evening.
Someone introduces the theme and talks about the culinary traditions and habits of the area.
The UH Marthas have already tasted at least Hungarian and Indian food. Once they had a meeting focusing on medieval customs, and the factual programme was crowned by spicy cabbage soup and beer bread. Then we can put them away again and forget about them. Cooking skills not required The UH Marthas uphold the original ideas of the Martha movement, economical and ecological thinking and competence in household skills. However, unlike other Martha Clubs, student Marthas do not offer advice on housekeeping.
