Taste of Home Cooking School

Saturday I went to a Taste of Home Cooking School with some friends. I was not impressed. I'm thankful the tickets only cost $10. I got there a few minutes early to look around. They had a few, and I mean a few, booths set up to look at. Then for the actual presentation. It was nothing but watching a lady (who had an awful sense of humor) make a few dishes. I can do that at home on the Food Network Channel! They did give out some nice prizes, but of course I didn't win anything. We didn't even get to taste the food! You would think that would be one of the things that you did at something like this. Or maybe there should be stations where we can try out different techniques or gadgets. I did come home with a gift bag (actually 3 of them thanks to a friend who kept going to get more--she was funnier than the Taste of Home lady). The gift bag had some recipes and coupons and 3 exclusive TOH magazines. Oh and a very small sample of Mrs. Dash. And one of my bags had a cheese cutter and a cheese knife in it. Oh and I did get a box of rice. Oh well. Lesson learned.
