As many of you know (from asking you your opinion) for Christmas came up with 12 dates for Josh and I to go on over this next year (one date a month). The rule that I used was the date had to be just the two of us (no double dates) and it had to be something we don't usually do (no dinner and movie). Now we couldn't afford to go out every month so there are several dates that are just staying home but doing something we don't usually do....a spa night, a game night, etc.
Well Sunday was our first date night of the year.....a cooking class!!! We went to a cool little kitchen in downtown Portland....Hipcooks....and learned how to cook a big fat Greek meal!! We had a blast!!! We had no idea what to expect, but it turned out really awesome and the food was amazing!! There were about 14 of us there total around a U shaped counter space and we cooked this seven course Greek meal using all natural ingredients!! Our instructor, Monika was super upbeat and full of energy which made the class all the better!!
Standing around the bar ready to cook!!! Monika is explaining how everything will work!!
Time to get your hands dirty!!!
Making Spanikopita
M'mmmmmmm.....look at those caramelized onions!! Don't they look amazing!! By the way....did you know that if you have a pot with a non-oven safe handle on it all you do is have to put foil around the handle and it becomes oven safe!!!
Finishing up the Baklava....the BEST EVER!!!
Some of the amazing food we made!!!! You'll have to come to our house for a Greek Party!! We are ready to cook now!!!!
Next month.....Romantic Dinner at Home!!!
