A Spoon Full of Sugar...

Last weekend was a BLAST! It's been many, many months...maybe a year that my friend Melissa has been after me to introduce her to my friend Amy. They are both foodies. MEGA-foodies. Amy is the owner of Amy's at Woodhaven, a great cooking school that sits right on her property that was originally a bed-and-breakfast with a restaurant next door...now it's her private residence and a cooking school with tables in the back room.

Her residence is right behind my Trailblazer there, and the cooking school is that building on the right. Very cool!
We made Three cheese ravioli. Here's a pic of me with my fingers in the dough...gotta keep your fingers in there, according to Amy!

Now, I'm not a cook or a baker by nature, but the reason I brought my friend Melissa for the weekend was because she is a cake/pie/cupcake maker for a place in town. She started out with a business on her own (she still does that on the side), and then worked at a chocolate shop downtown (still does that, too). The chocolate shop just moved two doors down to a bigger shop and the owner bought her some ovens and baking stuff so they can start offering baked goods - featuring her stuff! EXCITING! So...I knew Amy and Melissa would hit it off right away...and I was right.

But, poor Melissa got stuck with me for a partner the night of the cooking class...
We had fun, though...

...because I may not be great at cooking, but I am good for a few laughs! ;) And, catching angel hair pasta is pretty fun! (It feels really cool!)

Now, Melissa and I both want pasta making attachments for our Kitchenaid mixers for Christmas. Sigh.
