[Highland Park] Fw: CHOP, WOK & TALK! CLASSES THROUGH THE END OF MAY
by Dorothy Tague 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to spring! I know I am...just dying to get out into the garden and start picking my own herbs for classes. I have attached the schedule of classes from the end of March through May. This year I will not be teaching in June but might put in a few classes for young adults. The "special occasion" dinners are well received. It's a chance to treat that 'special someone' to a class for a special occasion. And, we actually cook some "normal food" as my husband would say. The Thai I and II classes are very popular. People seem to enjoy the fruit and vegetable carvings in the Thai II. If you have taken any Thai classes you can register for Thai II and get all our new recipes that Martha and I learned in Thailand! The Chinese classes are struggling a bit. Seems that more people are into Thai--especially the younger generation. It's too bad because the Chinese recipes are to die for and it is in this class that you really learn knife skills and a lot of techniques. So, there's my plug for Chinese!! Just one more thing that I am very excited about.....Whirl magazine called and they doing articles on cooking schools in the area. The article will be in their Edible Allegheny Magazine that comes out at the end of this month. We had a photo shoot of the step-by-step procedures of a stir fry!! This just might boost an interest in Chinese cooking again! BTW, our culinary trip through Italy in March of 2012 had a fantastic response! At this point, if you are still interested, I can put you on a waiting list and send you a tentative schedule. Pricing has not been confirmed but it should be around $5000 plus airfare for 12 days to Venice, Tuscany, Rome, and Positano/Amalfi coast. We have 4 cooking classes arranged, lots of sightseeing planned, and three wonderful relaxing days at a villa in Tuscany!! Hope to see you in class soon, Dorothy, Martha, & Marianne

[Highland Park] Guitar for sale (plus stand, plus case)
by Constanza Ehrenhaus 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi Neighbours, In our continued efforts to modify the house for the upcoming baby we need to get rid of some things that we do not use anymore. As usual I rather give first choice to HP before posting this in Craigslist. We have a guitar, brand Honer model HW400s (this is more of a learning guitar, regular size, not for kids), that my husband bought 15 years ago and he has not played for too long. The guitar comes with a case (old, and not in excellent shape, but funcitonal) and a stand brand Dixon. There are also cords and picks (is that the right name?) included. The price is $200+ for a Hohner guitar, approx. $50 for the case and approx. $20 for a stand. We will be happy to let them all go for $125. Thank you for reading! Coty.-
