I've MISSED YOU!

Wow!
I didn't realize that it's been awhile since my last entry to the "Blogster". So sorry about that. I've been very busy working on new recipes and getting "Fired UP" for our cooking classes, that I haven't had time to write. I promise I'll be more faithful as time goes on. Anyway, I'm a HAPPY MAN 'cuz my TIGERS WON!! WOOHOO!! I've seen a lot of things, but I've never been to a game that was delayed due to lightning. New adventure, friends. That's all I have to say about that. Now onto The Cook's Station news: Euphoria has come and gone, and even with the torrential downpours it was a success. We thank all of you for coming out and supporting us and for shopping with us during our Fall Clearance Sale. I hope you had fun. I'm now gearing up for our "Flavors of the Fall" class, and it's Sold out! I'm so excited, as I think this menu will be fun and hearty. We're going to make a delicious roasted butternut squash soup with sausage and wild rice, followed by a roast beef tenderloin with mushroom ragout and glazed Autumn vegetables. To finish the evening off, we'll treat you to pumpkin fritters made by my little pal and pastry Wizard, Julie Jester. I think it's going to be a BLAST!! I have a few different versions of butternut squash soup, but I haven't done this one in awhile and I thought I would just step up to the plate and go for the home run. Be sure to check out our website at http://www.thecooksstation.com/ for more information and the rest of the classes for the fall. By the way, book your reservations for the "Ultimate Christmas Dinner" class, as it is going f-a-s-t. Until next time, Cheers!
