Ring around the rosies,
pocketful of hosies,
Rashes, rashes,
We all jungle down!

Date Night Cooking Class

Chris and I decided to try something new for date night, so we enrolled in a one-time cooking class through our community education catalog. We had so much fun! And there was a nice surprise that our former neighbors were also in the class, so we were able to cook together.
The menu was super delicious, and contained quite a few things that I wanted to learn to make. Here is what we made:
:: Baked mushroom risotto
:: Chicken florentine
:: Roasted brocolli with garlic
The other team we joined up with made bananas foster, a cheese souffle, and a different version of chicken florentine. We made enough food for 8 people and shared it with our two partner couples. Everything was so delicious and it was great fun to just get out and learn to cook. I plan to make the risotto again soon!

Highly recommended for a different kind of date night. I've also taken cooking classes on my own and have loved the results. I took a thai class and a chicken en crote class. Both were so fun to learn new cuisines!

Sweet Amelia

This morning, Amelia was being particularly sweet, after days of particularly sassy behavior.

I hugged her and said, "Oh, I love this sweet Amelia! I think the sassy Amelia went away. Where do you think she went?"

Amelia said, "To jail."

Ha!
