Cooking On Vacation? Sounds Like Fun To Me!

I love to cook. I especially love trying new recipes, and then watching my family enjoy what I have made. Recently, my girls have started showing an interest, too. Ryan has always loved cooking, and he knows how to make quite a few things. In fact, he can probably cook more than I could when I first got married. I am teaching the girls now, and they are so happy when they get to join me in the kitchen. Brandi has become an expert egg cracker, and Kasi loves to measure. She's not the best egg cracker, but if you know Kasi, bless her heart, you know why.

Imagine how excited I was when I found out about the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel 's Cooking School Weekend. For a really reasonable price, Junior and I can spend the weekend of October 16th learning how to cook with the hotel's chef, Chef Nathan Read. The first night we arrive, we can enjoy a wine tasting reception, and then the following morning, we can learn how to make the appetizers served the night before. How fun does that sound? I would thoroughly enjoy learning from a professional chef.

That night, we can enjoy a lavish four-course dinner paired with appropriate wines, and then learn how to make it the following morning. Really, how cool does this sound? I wish I could talk Junior into going, because I think he would enjoy watching me make a fool out of myself, trying to pretend that I know what I am doing. I may be able to make meatballs and barbecue chicken, but I have so much more to learn.

And this weekend sounds like the perfect way for me to learn.
