We had a great cooking class on Thursday! Mind you, it was a small cooking class, since I had just three students. But that's okay, we had a good time without you, anyway! Sort of like a cozy meal with friends. But we'd have an even better time if more of you are able to come to the next class.
That will be on November 8, 6:00 pm at the Pleasant Hill Community Center. Visit the Rec department online to sign up. It's the Indian Summer Cooking Class and we'll be making Acorn Squash Stuffed with Wild Rice, Hazlenuts and Dried Cranberries, Kale Salad, and Corn Pudding. This is a beautiful vegetarian Thanksgiving meal, if you have someone like that at your table this year.
My three students and I got busy chopping right away, with two of them working on the peaches and leeks for the chicken and the third student mixing the batter for the chocolate-pear cake. Once we had everything in the oven, we washed the greens for our salad and made our dressing. Then we sat and discussed easy tips for meal planning, grocery shopping and how to find locally grown organic food.
Then we ate! You know that time of silence that happens when people are hungry and first start eating a delicious meal? We all did that! It was so funny! But after a few bites, we got back to our discussions and enjoyed the wonderful food. Thanks to all my students for their help!
