Saturday Night Delight-Sunday Morning Surprise!

Saturday evening, we attended our first FCC's Chinese Cooking Class with our instructor Yao, hosted by Carol and attended by Cindy, LeeAnn, Maryane, Donna, my DH and myself. And no, I don't have the names lined up with the faces :)

It was great fun with Yao teaching us to chop, slice and dice and introducing us to the many Asian ingredients. Our menu consisted of Wonton Soup, Sweet & Sour Pork and a delicious dessert of Sweet Potato w/Ginger.


The food was great and we will hopefully have another one in a month or two. DH was the only guy in attendance but the ladies said they would have their hubbies come next time! Let's hope so!!

HUGE Thank you to Carol for organizing and hosting the event and to Yao for sharing her charm and culinary skills! We'll explain the proper use of a hair dryer while cooking at another time :)

On our drive home we received a phone call from DD, she was checking in and told us about a storm rolling through our area with 60 mph gusts. During our drive we didn't experience any gust and by the time we arrived home, it was only a slight rain drizzle.

So you can imagine our surprise this morning when we found three of our four Adirondack chairs in the river. Now I don't mean in the river by our dock, close by, as in a little wind blew them over. Oh no, I mean pick up and disperse winds that blew the very heavy wood chairs many docks to the north of us and one way to the south of us.

Did this storm wake us up during the night? Not a chance. With a full course Chinese dinner put away, we were fast asleep...



Thanks to DH who walked the river bank, we have our chairs back. Only one had damage. I love those chairs. DH and I hand made them along with a few more with my Dad's help and wood working expertise. It was a husband/wife bonding exercise :)
Dad, we miss you!!
