Success!

Wednesday night, Tyler and I started this year's valentines adventure by taking our first cooking class. It was fabulous! Each year we try to choose something different to do together. The first year Tyler came up with this idea, we did horseback riding lessons. We ended up doing them for about 3 months. It was so much fun!




So this year is the year of food. We hooked up with the Adult Education Center and this week's lesson was on The Flavors of Italy. We learned the recipes for:

-Lentil Soup with Italian sausage - very tasty
-Gorgonzola Coins - not a big fan
-Clam Soup - Tyler's choice
-Parmesan Polenta Squares
-Pork Tenderloin with a tomato and olive topping
-Mozzerella Shrimp - to Die for!
-and Beef Tenderloin with a brown gravy

Tonight's dinner was the Beef Tenderloin. We went to the Butcher to get our meat. I explained what I needed and he custom cut the beef to my needs. Came home and cooked a wonderful dinner of beef, asparagus and butter bread. :) It really turned out great. We have some leftover meat and gravy, so I plan to make a stroganoff Monday. Tyler is busy making dutch cocoa cookies and I am relaxing. Happy Weekend everyone!
