Our day started at 7:45 am with breakfast. I'm not sure how many people were there, but there were several classes with 16 per class. Around 8:30 we went to our separate classes. * I had a great instructor. Her name was Chef Carol Murphy Clyne. She really had a penchant for teaching. Our class was broken down to 4 groups of 4. I joined a father and his two sons. Upon entering the stainless steel kitchen, I saw cutting boards and sharp knives. There were many refrigerators and gas top stoves. A little intimidating to say the least, but very exciting. We had many recipes to make and three hours to do it. Around 1:30 pm, we sat down to devour our food.
I attended a lecture in the afternoon about the physiology of taste. It was interesting and the main topic was about the fifth taste--Umami.
After the long, tiring day, I drove 4 hours to see Pete and the kids. They had spent the weekend up to that point in Seneca Falls, NY. Our new puppy is from there and he wanted to take the kids to see Lily. I have to admit, she is sweet. It was nice to meet Pete's friends, Keith and Moira, and their kids, whom I had never met. They have a great old farmhouse with their property going right up to Cayuga lake. They own Lily's mommy, Artemis. I liked her, too. Oh my, am I becoming a dog person? Nah, not just yet.
Sunday I drove home and felt like I was going to fall asleep at the wheel a couple of times. Thank Goodness for Coke Zero and Hershey's with almonds.
*I didn't have my camera with me. I am hoping against hope that the brothers in my group email me some pictures (fingers crossed!). If I get some pics, I will post them.

That sounds like so much fun!
I can't wait to hear about all of the dog stories!
That sounds like it was a blast!!! What a wonderful experience!!!!
I had a good chuckle at your "Am I becoming a dog person?" line. You sound just like me. Although, I like dogs but only from a distance. hehe! Gimme a cat ANYDAY over a dog.
Sounds like you had a great time though!
I hope you learned some good recipes. Tapas are something I have no clue about, although we tried a couple of recipes some while ago, and they turned out fine!
I am the ultimate dog person. But I like cats too.
Hey girl. Where have you gone? Hope everything's ok...
