Keep it outside

We have maybe 2 months left to entertain outside. Call your friends, grab your neighbors and have some outdoor fun. Easy recipes like a 1 pot clam bake (America's Test Kitchen) or Paella on the grill will keep you cooking outside with your friends.

Time to take it outside

Looking forward to creating my outdoor space with a rug, pillows, candles, plants, comfortable out door furniture, BBQ... Bring on the good weather!

Thai Cooking Class

Who can resist a gathering of friends, creating fabulous food and sparkling drinks? What a wonderful evening learning some popular Thai dishes. Terry and Kathy, chefs extraordinaire, spent the time showing us it is all doable.

Thai 77

 The kitchen was set up with stations and recipes. You could bounce around and help or stick to making a single dish.

 Green Papaya Salad

 Thai Basil Beef 

Tom Kha Gai Soup

 I will never purchase any other coconut milk again after having tried this one. Heaven...

3 crab fish sauce

 Fresh Spring Rolls & Dipping Sauce

Bring an apron and join us for the next cooking class. It was so worth it! 

It Worked!

Way more fun to party outside. My basket of blankets and jackets helped my guest stay warm later in the evening and kept the party outside for longer. Had a wine bar set up, a non alcoholic bar featuring fresh strawberry lemonade and a pretty brown cooler with beer. Wouldn't change a thing.
