Saturday from 10:00 – 2:00 is the 2nd of my cooking classes I’m taking at Frasier’s Gourmet Foods here in Fishers. It’s a class all about the basics and so far I’m really enjoying it. I wish it were 12 weeks long instead of 3… though I likely would not have been able to afford it.

I believe the topics this week include soups, sauces and then an overview of different cooking techniques. I’m really looking forward to learning about sauces. I’ll never remember all the fancy French names for them, but as long as I remember how to make the basics, we can go from there.

I will get the opportunity to put my new found skills to the test later that evening as I’m cooking for a couple of friends. So far it is grilled steak, steamed broccoli in a lemon basil butter sauce, with bacon alfredo mashed potatoes. I’m still trying to come up with an apple based desert.

Well, off to make the grocery list…
