The entire evening took about 2.5 hours and we walked home with plenty of leftovers and they emailed us the recipes too. Highly recommend.

My only criticism was that the young girls leading the party were pretty low energy and it was so quiet in there. I think the overall experience would have been better if the gals leading were a bit more engaging with the kids and maybe some music was playing in the background. The pretzel was good though, and my daughter had fun!

My husband and I paid the fees, completed the training, and became Kansas City Barbeque Society…read more(KCBS) Certified Barbeque Judges over twelve years ago. We were certified to judge the following meat categories: chicken, ribs, pork, and brisket and evaluate the various meats in three different criteria: taste, appearance, and texture. You can also be a "Certified Table Captain," although I think it was called something else at the time we got KCBS certified. The Table Captain, at that time, was responsible for "plating and presentation" of the meats, which really is an important competition component. The KCBS dates back to 1985, wow, that's 40 years! Why so few stars? This is an expensive hobby in my opinion! The annual fees, costs of travel (gas, wear and tear on your vehicle), accommodations and meals, time off work to attend/travel, and the fact you are a volunteer (receive no compensation) is excessive. Also, the opportunities to judge a contest (anywhere in the United States, although it is an international society) are claimed so quickly it is nearly impossible to get a judging slot! My former coworker and 15 year Master Certified KCBS Judge, Carl, smartly "pre gamed" his KCBS judging calendar with his buddy! They signed up/applied ASAP for the events they wanted to judge, got approval to take personal leave if work days were affected, split all transportation and accommodation costs, and took turns driving to each event. Although the KCBS judges cannot fraternize with the competition teams prior to judging, I'm sure Carl enjoyed hanging out with his friends' competition and/or backyard/shade tree teams after judging. For guys like Carl, this is a fun hobby he can enjoy with his buddy and buddies that likely enriches his own personal barbequing experiences!

Cue Lizzo "about damn time."…read more It took me long enough to make my way over to Hemma Hemma though it's been on my list literally since they opened their doors. When Donna Kelce listed it as amongst her favorite spots in KC I just knew it was going to be a slam dunk and yet it STILL took me this long to make my way over. All that being said, I have a standing lunch date with a friend on my calendar and after looking at her text that simply said "Hemma Hemma?" I was so excited to give it a try. I was just coming from a meeting near the Plaza so it was a quick jaunt for me, and I was honestly surprised to find that Hemma Hemma is located in Waldo, right on Wornall. Turns out I've driven past it countless times and never even realized it. For a weekday lunch at noon I was a bit worried about parking but I was able to get a really close spot right on Wornall so don't let that deter you one bit. When you walk in it's honestly kind of perfect brunch/lunch vibes. It's sort of like a marriage of a cozy cafe and a chic home kitchen. You feel welcome and relaxed. It's an order at the counter kind of place and I had their pickle fried chicken salad (forgive me for not remembering the official name!). It was divine. I will say it was very crowded when I was in there but there were plenty of seats, mostly because they've used the space well and there is ample room for single diners to sit at a large communal table in the back, which really frees up tables for folks that are there to chat with someone. Aside from all of that the food is great, the folks working are so nice, and I can't wait to return.

My first thought upon entering was "where are the bread cubes, how am I supposed to taste oils &…read morevinegars without bread cubes?" And then I learned. Oh boy did I learn! I saw a woman pour a little bit of vinegar into a little paper cup and sip it straight, so in true monkey-see-monkey-do fashion I did the same. My first taste was the White Peach Balsamic. Forget everything you know about balsamic vinegar, stuff this good is on a different plane of existence altogether. Wow! So syrupy and brightly flavored I now understood the glaring lack of bread cubes. Who needs them? The White Peach was like jam. I was instantly thinking of pouring it over ice cream, or ... ? It turned my world upside down. My budget permitted a purchase of just one bottle this trip, but you can rest assured I will be coming back to add to my collection. If you're curious, I chose the Lime Jalepeno Balsamic as my first bottle. All I add is a little oil, salt & pepper and I have a salad dressing that knocks my socks off!

Prior to making the new arrangement, my husband was sourcing our meals via fast food take-out and a limited rotation of local restaurants. Factoring in gas and food costs, this turned out to be an expensive and frustrating way to operate. Our experience with Chefs for Seniors has been wonderful from the very first visit. Laura Thomsen comes every two weeks to cook the menus we choose. (There are other plans - we just chose this one for our needs). Laura is friendly and competent. Everything we have tasted for our meals has been delicious. When we have a few modifications we wish to make (picky husband) she makes the switches cheerfully. After cooking up a storm, Laura leaves my kitchen spotless. I should also say that Larry, the guy who runs the Kansas City Chefs for Seniors is wonderfully approachable and available. While it might seem posh and expensive to have a personal chef, if you do the math, you'll find that getting healthy home-cooked meals from a competent cook is invaluable. And all in all, quite reasonable in price. I highly recommend this company and their services.
