Wednesday Wines Does Cooking!!!

This week Wednesday Wines went on a Field Trip thanks to our beautiful friend Michelle!! She signed us up for a cooking class at this AWESOME cooking store. We came after work, all having either a pretty crappy day or were just SO tired that we wanted to just curl up on the couch watching TV, but we endured! We did stop and get a wine on the way which probably helped a bit :) And we were glad we did!

I LOVE the food network and so does my friend Hayley, so we pretended like we were on the food network the whole time! This was our chef, James. Notice the cool mirror behind him so we can see what he was doing...I SO felt like I was on the food network.



We had a yummy Pear and Honeyed Walnut Salad and A wonderful Potato and Peas Salad. And then he made an incredible Onion Soup and Potato and Leak Soup that was like silk! He also taught us cool things like...the stove heats the pan, the pan heats the oil, the oil heats the food...so simple but makes so much more sense. He was a BIG advocate of Rice Bran oil because of its flash point--which I learned all about, too!

Here is Rochelle and Michelle trying the yummy pear salad and me and Hayley trying the soup. SOOO GOOD!!!






They haven't quite got used to their American friend taking pictures ALL the time and ones that are posed, but it is MEMORIES I keep telling them!! Here is all of us after a good time!!










Then what else would you do after a cooking class, but go get more food! We snuck over to Wendy's so that Chef James didn't see us and filled our tummies a little more. Seems wrong that we ate fast food after such a cool cooking class, but there was 22 people in the class so we just got little teasing bites of the yummy food! :) If you ever can go to a cooking class you should definitely do it!!! So worth it and so fun, but only go with good friends that make you laugh...that was the best part!
