I'm doing a cooking class tonight for one of my mom's friends.  The menu will have items that are both impressive for guests, but also practical for your family.  I'll be starting and ending with some more time consuming "guest" recipes but the main course will be something they could whip up and impress guests with, or simply whip up and impress their family!  I'll of course stop teasing you and post the menu and recipes later.  Until then..it's prep time!


p.s.  Here's a picture of the flowers Benjamin had with him on the plane the first time we met.  With...a wooden spoon in them!  What a guy.  He had me from "spoon"... or something like that.
