For Christmas, Lex got me a cooking class at a local kitchen store that offers hands on classes too. I've wanted to do this for years and was so excited, so we finally found a class we wanted to take and had our babysitter come over to handle dinner and bedtime with the kids. We spent 3+ hours cooking our own gourmet dinner! It was a blast!
To top it off, Francine, from the current reality show American Baking Competition, was there!! She is from Pickens, SC and apparently is going to be teaching some baking classes at Foxfire in the future and came to learn the ropes from Chef Allen. Lex believes she may have also been told to help push some of their products, because she was definitely recommending a lot of good kitchen gadgets as the class went on, haha! It was fun to listen to her experience on the show. She is currently in the top 3. She was sworn to secrecy and would have to pay 4 million dollars to CBS if she leaked who won, so I guess we'll have to keep watching to find out.
Whipping up some cream for our mousse!
Shrimp & Scallop Grappa Scampi
Rosemary and Garlic, Baked Polenta
Pan Seared Rib-Eye Steak with Burgundy Mushroom Demi
Chocolate Mousse with Berries and Lavender Cream
YUM!! I would highly recommend this, so fun!
