Thank you everyone for your kind and generous birthday wishes! Thank you for the emails, the phone calls, the birthday cake, the food magazine subscription, the homemade dinner, the cooking class, the gift certificate to Peet's, and the Tuesday lunch at Faz! I love you all, and I am touched by everything you did! You reminded me that friends and family are the most important in life, and how food unifies us all.Although this won't be a full-length post (it is many just of pictures), I hope this gives you an idea of the fun I had. Here are some pictures of the courses in the Australian-themed four-course cooking class "gift" I was given.
Course #1: Shrimp Encrusted with Hungarian Paprika and Glazed with Pomegranate Molasses
Course #2: Chicken with a Ginger and Plum Reduction
Course #3: Eggplant, Red Onion, and Zucchini Squash Tart
