Hooray!....you won't get any more e-mails until the website with fall classes is ready in late July/early August. I hope you will like the offerings for the fall classes. We are bringing back the Greek and Indian classes as well as changing all the menus except for Chinese and Thai. The Chinese and Thai menu selections will remain the same for several years. Since there is a different menu for each month this will enable you to eventually take all 6 of the classes, if you wish. I will be studying Mediterranean and Tuscan cuisine this summer at ICE (Institute of Culinary Education) in NYC and plan on using a lot of their recipes in the fall classes. Can't wait...........I LOVE new recipes!!! The class offerings through the end of June are listed below and we hope to see you one more time before fall! We are available for private parties/team building through out the July and August.

[Highland Park] Five, five piece Bernardaud Limoges France -Chateaubriand- place settings $1,375
by Jennifer Moriarty 12 May '12

12 May '12

Hi Neigbors, Well I let the 10 day sale go after day six I believe. What can I say, it's been a busy week. Today, I am selling five, five piece place settings. This is the exact Bernardaud Limoges France -Chateaubriand- setting that I am selling for $1,375. http://www.amazon.com/Bernardaud-Chateaubriand-Piece-Place-Setting/dp/B006V… or here http://www.chelseagiftsonline.com/Bernardaud-CHATEAUBRIAND-BLUE-5-Pc-Place-… My pieces are in PERFECT condition. They have been used maybe three times. There is not a knick or scratch on ANY single piece. They are beautiful but as I have never been able to acquire more than five, I am letting them go. This price is firm. I am not desperate to get rid of them. I will continue to try to sell them elsewhere if no one on the list serve is interested. I haven't seen an asking price for one set for less than $400 and my price breaks down to $275 a piece. I will not sell any less than all five settings. I am including a link to a photo album of all of the items I am currently selling that includes many photos of the set in case the Amazon site is not enough to visualize them. They are very beautiful, and I do hope that they find a good home. I will wrap them safely and box them after a buyer comes to inspect them and makes the decision to buy them. You can see the photos of my pieces here... https://plus.google.com/photos/110389286504349811315/albums/573766863851081… Thank you for considering! Jen Moriarty

[Highland Park] bike for sale $125
by Amy P. Kennedy 11 May '12

11 May '12

Hi Neighbors, Selling an oldie but a goodie: racing bike, Focus RG--750. Thin tires, presta valves, friction (not index) shifters, Suntour components, drop handlebars, "male" frame geometry. Would send a link but the bike is pre-internet. In good condition, minor scratches to finish. Pink frame with yellow trim. Can't remember the exact size, but I am 5'6 and it's a good fit. Well cared for. I really liked it in my riding heyday, but am more of a commuting rider now and the thin tires don't work for me. Will be around this weekend if you'd like to see it. $125 Thanks! Amy
