Cooking Class

I went to a cooking class this morning at Sur La Table with friends from work - April and Putbory. The class started at 1030 and was 2 1/2 hours long. The class was called 5 Classics Every Cook Should Know. We learned how to make French Onion Soup, Roasted Chicken, Pork Loin, Beef Bourganoinne (sp?), and Creme Brulee. The instructor, Ed, was very young, cute, and a good instructor. There were 16 people in the class and we all got a chance to do some hands on work. My first job was to coat the cubed pieces of top sirloin in flour, salt, and pepper - then put the pieces in a pan with oil - Putbory's job was to then brown the meat and then add other ingredients. Some of my other jobs were to slice up the cooked pork loin and then separate the eggs so we could have egg yolks for the creme brulee. It was so much fun!! I will definitely be doing this again. There is a class on baking cookies in October that sounds pretty good.

After the class I ran some errands and then came home in time to watch the Cougs lose yet another game - it was dismal 63 - 14. I am now watching Enchanted on TV to get over the sad game.

It is very relaxing here tonight - L is out and about with her friend Kelly. She caught a bus last night to go in to Seattle to meet up with them and she said she didn't know when she would be home. Hopefully everything is OK and she turns up sometime tomorrow.
