Great Christmas Gift

Guess what I got for Christmas? You remember that new stove I got? Well, there is a fellow at our church who is an amateur chef and Dan gave me some cooking lessons from him. He cooks at our church for special occasions and his food is amazing. Now I don't need cooking 101, so I am thrilled to have instruction in my home, with my new stove/oven, and learn those "secrets" to great cooking. We are starting next week with cooking from the Mediterranean. This is in prep for our trip to Israel. We had a planning session yesterday and I will share ideas and tips as we go. I am so very excited about this perfect gift :) Hint: I will be ordering some lamb...
