As we all know I am a kitchen gadget junkie. Its true. I LOVE Sur la Table, and living in Seattle I was able to go Mecca, at their original store at Pike’s Market – not as often as I would have liked though. =)
I was so excited to find that there is a Sur la Table right near the mall, in walking distance for me. I have been there four times already. I only bought something twice though (i just like to walk through and dream of the wonders I would have if I had a HUGE kitchen). I had to buy a new beaker for my french press because I broke it on my granite counter top – I probably should have bought 2, I have a feeling I will do that again – LOL. I also got a 20% of coupon so I went and splurged on something I have been eyeing for a couple of years. Mukka Express – it makes cappuccino in one pot, no steaming milk or frothing, it does it all by itself. It even makes espresso and lattés, but the cappuccinos I think turn out the best.
They also do cooking classes at this one, that they didn’t in Seattle. I want to sign up for ALL of them. LOL I have learned you need to sign up early, I’m on wait lists for 3 classes at the moment (prime rib dinner, sensational sauces, and holiday hors d’ouevres). But I did sign-up for two in December. Candy making and chocolate truffles! I know ya’ll are thinking – but Meredith you have been making truffles for years, and you have all that candy stuff, I know you make it. Well yeah, but I thought it might be nice to see how you are actually SUPPOSED to do it, other than what I have been doing. Who knows, I may have been doing it right all along, either way it was always good.
So all of you who plan on visiting in the future will get to enjoy all of my practicing!
