Good Morning Company Girls, I'm looking forward to sharing with you this morning about a very fun adventure that my girlfriends and I had yesterday.
Several years ago a group of my girlfriends and I formed what we call "The Birthday Club." We like to refer to ourselves as the "Formidible Women. Now you can make of that what you want to. ~smile~You might say, "we are a force to be reckoned with." ~chuckle~ We have about 3 outings a year and the latest "birthday girls" get to decide what that outing will be.
Here we are preparing to leave at 6:20AM this morning.
The latest group decided it might be fun if we attended a Viking Cooking School. They found one in Ridgeland, MS (about 2 hrs. 15 minutes from us).
We arrived about 8:45 and got registered, pottyed and looked around the kitchen. Of course, everything was neat and in order and all of our places were filled with everything we would need to make the "menu of the day."
Our chef/teacher was Matt and he was just delightful and had more than his share of patience for sure. There were 12 of us in the class and I'm sure we sounded like a bunch of elementary kids all trying to ask the teacher a question at the same time.
Once we had finished cooking everything on the menu, we all at down at a large table and enjoyed the "fruits of our labor." Doesn't it look delicious! Let me tell you that dessert was sweet enough to last me a lifetime. WOW! A little definitely went a long way! I bet you can taste all the sugar just looking at it. ~smile~

a fun group of women as us. ~smile~

It was a fun day for all of us and sharing fun with friends just adds so much "spice to life" and I thank God for each one of these dear ladies. We've shared a lot through the years, happy times, sad times and everything inbetween. But, isn't that what friends are for? You bet!

What a fun group and a fun thing to do! This sounds like a great tradition. I wonder where you will go next?
ReplyDeleteOh that looked like a FUN day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! And a visit to a cookery school sounds like a whole lot of fun - even if you did have to get up so early! It's great to get some kitchen inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHave great weekend,

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! You girls look like a lot of fun! I really wish we could have sampled the fruits of your labor. Looks scrumptious!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
Oh, how fun! I want to be a Formiddable Woman! I would love to try this!
ReplyDeleteI always see different recipes--gourmet type--and think I would like to try to do it, but I am either too chicken of the ingredients or don't have the right instruments: i.e. a cooking torch! What a fun way to try out some new recipes!
Maybe someday! :)
What a fabulous time!!! I've done one cooking class thing and it wasn't even hands on. Boo! But hubby has done it before with his group at work. Looks like a fun time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a BRILLIANT club! I love the idea so much! Thanks for sharing it and pictures of your food, too!!! How fun.
