Happiness Is....A Night Out

Last night, my In-laws were kind enough to watch Little Miss so I could go take a cooking class at Distinctive Kitchens. They picked Little Miss up an hour before the class so they could take her out to dinner, so I decided to head to the Fish House Deck for a Ladies' Night cocktail. I didn't even bother trying to meet friends, since I only had about 45 minutes, but it was great to sit outside, have a drink, and listen to some great music.

The Sangria: AVV Temptation Zinfandel, amaretto, and peach and raspberry liqueurs gently mixed with fresh juices and fresh-muddled fruits . Served tall on the rocks.

After that I headed to DK for the vegan cooking class. I knew the teacher, Bonnie, from veggie potlucks, and it was so much fun! I'm definitely going to take another class there. We tried a lot of really good recipes - I can't wait to share some of them with you!

Sadly, I didn't take pictures of all of the dishes - we were having too much fun! I finally remembered to take some pictures when we were wrapping up. I'm thinking I may try this dessert with Little Miss!

It was so delicious! I think the local blueberries are perfect for it right now!
