If you know anything about me at all, you know “cooking” is not where my talents die! Still each year, I enjoy attending the Taste of Living Holiday Cooking Show and it’s that time of year again.
On our way to the Centre, Jeanette and I stopped by the new children’s garden by the Pulaski Co Library. What a beautiful spot for a photo shoot or a hand’s on learning center? Flowers, Herbs, Shrubs, Ponds, Butterflies, Birds, Sea Serpents and Horses! Come spring’s arrival this will be a five star locale for children’s pictures! It is so well laid out and wonderfully landscaped! I am so glad we stopped to scout it out!
Onto the Center: After checking out the displays, signing up for give-a-ways, and grabbing a quick bite, Jeanette and I met up with Judy, Laura, and Marcy. My friend, Tawanna and her sister, Tammi, were also there! Let the good times begin!! A perfect girls' night out!! Oh, but wait..this event is not only for the ladies, there were quite a few gentlemen present as well! Chefs in the making! Ohhh la la!
Dana, our Taste of Living Culinary Specialist (a.k.a. Cook for the Evening but Culinary Specialist sounds so “Oui! Oui!” (Yes, it is an inside joke!)...but she has an inviting personality and a sense of humor that keeps you in stitches. She is well-informed with bits of trivia (Got a sore throat? Chew on the core of a pineapple and immediate healing – who knew? How Cool!) Dana definitely makes cooking a holiday spread look incredibly easy. It is cool that shops for all of the ingredients locally so it is doable! Not to put her too high on the cooking pedestal, it was a relief for the beater to act up and for her roll of dough to be not so perfect. Just maybe there is hope for us not so talented cooks yet.
The perfect recipe to end the evening: a table of good food surrounded by friends and laughter.
Until next time… ‘C’
