SUMMARY: Archaeology Now is collaborating with diverse communities to host programs connecting our ancestors’ lives to present day. Their latest event, “In Baba’s Kitchen,” explores Ukrainian history through food. Chef Arina M, who learned to cook from her great-grandmother, is opening a new restaurant serving traditional Ukrainian dishes like borch and perogies. These recipes are considered endangered due to warfare impacting the transmission of knowledge. By hosting cooking classes, Archaeology Now and Chef Arina aim to preserve these cultural traditions. Interested individuals can visit the Archaeology Now website for more information and tickets to the event. This event offers a unique opportunity to taste history and be a part of a cultural experience.

As part of the Ukraine Project, Archaeology Now presents another of its Culinary Adventures, “In Baba’s Kitchen,” a unique cooking class and tasting event led by the Ukrainian team of husband-and-wife chefs Bek Mamet and Irina Mamataliyev and noted Houston and Czechoslovakian-born chef Monica Pope, who will teach participants how to make borsch and pierogi and the proper way to drink vodka.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Zach Shields is predicting severe thunderstorms today, with a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 4pm for the Austin Metro area. The storms are expected to be fueled by a warm front and an upper low pivoting out of New Mexico, providing lift and instability in the atmosphere. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats, with the potential for hail up to 2 inches in diameter. Flash flooding risk is low due to the quick-moving nature of the storms. The severe weather risk is highest along the I35 corridor, with multiple rounds of storms expected between noon and 7pm. Download the Fox 7 weather app for updates and alerts.

Large hail and damaging winds are the main concern as a Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for Central Texas. Zack Shields has the details in his weather forecast.
