Thanks to the friends and relatives who voted for me, our
Santa Fe trip is becoming a reality.
Several months ago the Santa Fe School of Cooking, santafeschoolofcooking , had a contest; it was a photo contest with the
winner receiving certificates for 2 cooking classes. I made sure that I had the
most votes by begging and pleading with anyone and everyone.
The trip is planned:
Tuesday we fly
Wednesday we will spend in Taos with an early lunch at La
Cueva Café where they serve gluten free New Mexican food. Dinner will be at
Orlando’s, we went there with Elias on the last grandkids trip, a place highly
recommended by the locals.
We hope to visit our vacation home in Taos in the afternoon.
This is a home that we found when Taos dreaming last year. The Mega Millions
was really high and times here were not so it was easy to take a couple of
hours to dream. I got on-line and found a house that screamed our names: http://www.realestatetaos.com/taos_real_estate_canonheights.php
I e-mailed the realtor about the brand of the stove and said
that we’d come and look at it someday. A couple of weeks ago I emailed again
and was told that it had just sold but he thought that the sale might fall thru. It appears
that it is still on the market and the price has been lowered so next week we
hope is our day to look. Unfortunately we have not won a lotto so alas, we can
only look and dream.
Thursday is back to reality with our 1st cooking
lesson, this is a hands-on lesson in making Chili Rellenos. They will show me
how to make them gluten free. In the afternoon we will walk a bit on the Santa Fe Trail
then eat at The Shed.
Friday is a demonstration in Contemporary Southwest cooking;
making grilled salmon, a tamale, black beans, and flan. This is a huge meal!!!
In the afternoon we will visit the San Miguel Mission built in the 1600’s, the
oldest house and then we will eat at the Chocolate House.
Saturday’s class includes: green chili stew, blue corn and
green chili muffins, pinion butter among other dishes. We will leave from the class and return home.
After each class a full meal is served so we will be on an
eating extravaganza!
