Cooking School

What do the following things mean? 1) Our living room has a large stack of cookbooks with post-it notes flagging various recipes. 2) My memory card on my camera is full of pictures of food that I cooked (with the hopes that one day I might write a blog post about the recipes). 3) I have bookmarked so many recipes on Internet Explorer that Husband has laughed and said that there are enough to last us the next 3 years. I think I have to finally admit that this girl, who once didn’t know how to bake chicken and subsisted on cereal-as-dinner for years, has finally found a hobby in cooking. I guess that’s the positive side of living in a small town with few restaurants. Now I’ve really come to enjoy cooking, and I actually look forward to it at the end of the day. I find it strangely stress relieving. (And any hobby where you get to eat after your efforts is a good one in my book!) This weekend I’m going out of town for work, and I’m so excited because I found a cooking class in the city! The class is going to focus on Italian food, which sounds so delicioso (ok, that’s actually Spanish, but you get the point). I somehow feel like I need to sign off saying, “Bon apetit!” (Again, not Italian.) (Let’s hope I’ll be able to make Italian better than I can speak Italian.)

Ha ha.. you were close. Buon appetito...and there you are with Italian.

Let us know how the cooking classes go. That sounds like so much fun!

You were close! They are all pretty similar...

Buon appetito! - Italian
Bon appétit! - French
¡Buen apetito! - Spanish
Bom apetite! - Portuguese

Gotta love those Latin based languages.

Have fun but take some pictures to share with us, please!

Sounds fun! Hope you learn a lot!

I've discovered I really like cooking, too. There's something satisfying about seeing something through to completion -- all in an hour or less!
