For aspiring chefs, children ages 7-12.  Don't be late for this very important date!

DATE NIGHT FOR COUPLES: GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEERS - Saturday, April 17 @ 6:00 - 8:30

Forget the porridge, chair, and sleeping - the three tastings of beer will be just right and plenty cold!  Join me (aka "goldie" locks) and beermeister Jerad Gardner in a fun evening designed for couples.  In this hands-on class, you'll prepare beer cheese fondue with soft pretzels, local lager with spicy Sriracha chicken wings, fruity Belgian wheat beer with grilled scallops & corn salad, plus creamy stout with chocolate hazelnut cake & vanilla ice cream.

Rowling series, including The Three Broomsticks's butterbeer, ham & cheese pasties from the Hogwarts house-elves, Mrs. Weasley's potatoes with bechamel sauce, and Aunt Petunia's individual berry & pudding trifles.  Before you apparate home, you'll make edible wants to help ward off He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

GIRLS' NIGHT OUT: WHEN IN ROME, EAT-ALY -Saturday, May 22 @ 6:00-8:30
