General Update

*Deep Sigh*
It's Thursday night. My dear sweet hubby instructed a class for the business until 7pm. Then he went to Mimzy's to help her - a really nice woman from FreeCycle is picking Mimzy's old kitchen table. I don't expect him home for at least another 30 minutes - or rather I hope he's not home for another 30 minutes (or more). As a surprise I made a yummy smelling dinner of fresh pasta with a quite tasty (if I do say so myself) meat sauce, fresh asparagus and I am even trying to branch out and bake! Yes you heard me correctly, bake. I bought one of those quick rising in a box bread things, we'll cross our fingers on how it tastes! But its in its final rising now and has at least another 30 minutes before I can even bake it.
So whilest the sauce is a-simmerin' and the bread is a-risin' I've been a-researching. Lately I've felt like I need more creative outlets for myself. I've signed up to take a pottery/ceramics class with the Folsom P&R and next month I hope to start guitar lessons. My first pottery/ceramics class was Tuesday and it's been a while I must say. But I did end up throwing a pretty respectable bowl. I really need to work on my cylanders (I have a height problem with clay) so I can make some vases.
I also want to take a few cooking classes. Now if you know me, I do pride myself on my cooking abilities. I feel I am quite good. However I also feel like my knowledge is limited and I'd really like to branch out into other foods (I feel my best is Italian followed closely by Mexican). So I've been looking at foods on the Sacramento Co-Op website (Sissy has taken some classes there and she seems to like them). So I found at least 2 (mediterrain and garlic lovers!) And I also found that they offer a "dinner" of sorts on March 7th that is all vegetarian - which while I LOVE my meat, Sissy and Mark don't so I would like to learn a different approach to making veggies main courses since Rick and I both love veggies. Maybe the four of us can go to this dinner thing. Might be interesting.
Now with only 15 minutes left before throwing the bread in the oven, I must go queue up the TV and try to get in some RealWorld/Road Rules Guantlet from this week - who will go home next?!
