Chilly chilly this morning. Freezing in fact. Then I walked outside for my morning walk. High 20’s, so most of the locals aren’t wearing shirts. I think I froze my teeth during my walk. The furnace went out last night and the house dropped to below 60, so the good news is that the heat bill will be slightly lower.
Starling Castle Riesling, Mark West Pinot Noir, and Luccio Moscato d’Asti were the wines served at 10am today. Yes, 10 am. Not your usual Saturday morning beverages, but if you attend a cooking class, they are. The primary instructor for Morain Park Technical Culinary Art Program in Fond du Lac along with 2 of her students gave some Thanksgiving day cooking tips to a small group of maybe 12 of us. We learned how to truss a turkey, how to thaw a turkey, how to make turkey stock, how to carve a turkey, and how to use a wet towel. (just seeing if you’re reading) We were all invited to visit the school and have a meal prepared by the students. Tuesday-Thursday from 11:00 to 12:30.
Go Badgers!
