Spring in Tuscany Cooking Class

This was a great night of food, flavors, learning, enjoying, chatting and eating. The food we cooked was AMAZING, several people didn't cook, and a couple guys said they were there to learn. We did Grilled Artichokes with basil aioli, Tuscan Grilled Chicken, Kale Salad, and Lemon Tart. Somehow Chef Katherine managed to also teach us some knife skills, how to pick out vinegar and oils, how vinegar is made and how to find the right kale at the market. She was funny and entertaining. The great smells made my stomach growl and the chicken was the JUICIEST I had ever eaten. I feel accomplished. We met some newcomers to the group and this was the perfect event to get acquainted at, cooking and great fun!

Laughing So Hard My Face Hurt!

 Made Up Theater in Fremont is a gem! It’s located in the back of a bunch of office buildings & if you weren’t looking for it, you would never know it was there. Most people arrived early & were happy to get their seats inside the theater as it was cold & windy. Once our group arrived, we got to know each other while waiting for the show to start. Once the show got going, the laughter could be heard all the way down the road. We shouted suggestions and waited for the actors to use them in their improv. The entire back row of members had side comments which made it even funnier. Lorraine was crying through the entire thing she was laughing so hard. Afterward, we got to meet all the performers and take a group picture up on the stage. It was a great night indeed. Events And Adventures

Wine Bottling at La Nebbia Winery!

Ahh...E&A.....E&A....E&A. You have done it again. You went out into this Bay Area world of ours and found a great event. Wine bottling at La Nebbia Winery in Half Moon Bay today. The event was fun and interesting but what really made the adventure was sitting down at a picnic table with our peeps. We met some new people today and hung out with old friends (by the way we made through E&A). I am continually amazed at the good times that I have with this group.
I have stated many times that I could go out and join a tennis club, a golf club, or a chess club. But in now way....no how could those clubs compare to the adventures that I get when I wait in anticipation for the calendar on the 15th of every month.
Kudos to the people behind the scenes to make these great events.
