Dinner at Dawn, again

Good morning...I think. It seems to have come awfully quickly! Our "Basics" class ended late last night and of course, we stayed up till midnight cleaning up and getting ready for this morning's adventure.
Periodically, Mardi is asked to appear on our local CBS Morning Show to prepare a dish live with Co-anchor, Jenny Anchondo. This morning we arrived at the studio at 5 to make a wonderful, healthy and easy Southwestern Capreze Salad with a Lime Vinaigrette. Everything went really well until Jenny, while shaking the bottle of vinaigrette, slung a trail of oil across the studio. She didn't realize that she needed to put her finger over the spout. Hopefully she didn't ruin her beautiful suit!
We left enough portions of the Capreze Salad and some fantastic Cake with Ganache for the crew to assure they will invite us back again.
(actually, Mardi is scheduled to appear again June 18)
Chow!

We must be having fun!

This has been such a busy week! We have had full classes
every day and some of them last pretty late. It's good we
love what we do. We taught a Team Building class for a
large local business on Monday afternoon. It was a lot of
fun and I think our guests had a great time and learned
something new about each other. Our Team Building classes
are very rewarding for us as we have the opportunity to
affect and help a fairly large group of people each time.
We research new team building methods all the time and see
how some of them might apply to our own team. Then, if we like
the results, we can offer the new "menu items" to our clients!
Cooking together is such a remarkable and effective way to
establish cooperation and get everyone pulling in the same
direction. And........we all get a terrific meal too!
We added a new member to our Tuesday night Basics of Cooking
Course this week so that fun group should be even funner.
Mardi and I have been working on our new schedule for the summer
and how exciting! The new classes we are offering (from Low Fat
and Fast, to the Thrill of the Grill! will be so fun and helpful
that we can hardly wait to start.
