Geez, we have been so busy with all our pursuits the past year that I just have not taken time to write anything. That is changing right now! There is so much to tell about food and cooking, and we are busting at the seams to spread the word.
We discovered a few days ago that our only real competition in town is closing their doors May 1st. That is too bad as we think some friendly rivalry is a good thing. Before the word came out that they were closing, we had made the decision to just about double our class offerings. We are so excited about the opportunities to share all our great cooking ideas and recipes that two or three classes each week just didn't cut it anymore.
I think our best idea lately was to add our Basics of Cooking course. We have been kicking the idea around for a long time but just hadn't been able to formulate exactly how we wanted to present the information. We are now running two sessions of this class each week and we are having a blast!
I have just finished a little remodel in our outside kitchen. I removed the large sink and its counter then installed a new cabinet a with a larger countertop to give us more prep area. So far, it is wonderful! Now I need to go to the next step which will be enlarging that part of the kitchen so I can install my commercial stainless sinks and move the fridge to that area. Then we will have a lot more room in the main part of the outdoor kitchen.
Last night we taught Four Pastas and Four Sauces. Our class had a lot of fun preparing these great recipes and the food was out of this world! I think it was the best we have cooked in a while. After cleanup, Mardi and i enjoyed a nice glass of Shiraz on the patio to wind down before bed.
Saturday we have a group of "bigs and littles" from the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. Mardi and I are really excited to host this class. The kids should be a real hoot.
Chow!
