The "before" picture...

Sharon, Terrie, Peggy
We got the wild idea of having a cooking
class with Neil Fuentes,
The Sensational Singing Chef.
We met him a few weeks ago at
an event the three of us attended.
So, we quickly pulled it together.
Great fun, great food, great friends!

Keep seeing this combination to
