Feb 20th - Cooking Class

Last Fall, our friends Dawn and RJ got married in Buffalo, NY. Our group of friends would have loved to go but we just couldn't swing it. We still wanted to celebrate with them though so we planned a fun evening for all of us. (And by "we planned", I mean Amanda - you rock!)

We all attended a private cooking class hosted by Hipcooks.  The class was held in an industrial area in LA.  All we had to do was pay the fee and show up!  (Once again, thank you Amanda for handling the details.)  They had a cooking station, aprons, dining table ... the whole 9 yards.  It was so much fun!  I think we all learned a little something and had a great time with one another.  Once again, congrats Dawn and RJ!
