Hop aboard the Hometown Appetites Express with Cynthia Harris as the guide to the adventures of "Clementine Paddleford, pioneer food writer who chronicled how America ate."  We'll travel back to the homefront during WWII; see what's cooking for Churchill as he gives his Iron Curtain speech; then skip across the water to see the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in France before heading to Buckingham Palace for the Coronation of the Queen.  Afterward we venture back to the States to peek through kitchen doors of restaurants, ordinary people, and other doors in between.  The free Express, sponsored by the Friends of the K-State Libraries and the Manhattan, Kansas Public Library, leaves the Manhattan, Kansas Public Library Auditorium on Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 2 p.m.  The armchair travelers will return from the adventure to partake in a reception of food and drink.  So don your aprons, grab pencil and pad, and come learn about a woman was was 20th Century rad!
