We participated with 6 or 7 other people, so it was a a good small group but we did enjoy chatting with the other attendees. Our instructor was fun, friendly, and knowledgeable and answered all our questions along the way. We started with a spring mix salad and for the entree, she made a veggie option and one with sausage. Both were delicious, but my favorite was definitely the meat version. I love that this was just an hour long and so a little more budget friendly and also if you call the shop and book directly, you can save the online booking fees so keep that in mind. I definitely plan to attend another class - these are such fun, interactive, and tasty events and they are helping me get into cooking more which has been a longtime goal of mine., The demo kitchen is in the back of the shop, the rest of the store is full retail with home and kitchen goods, decor, gifts, etc. You get 10% off your purchase after taking the demo class, so don't forget that. @azfitfoodfun

Looking for a neat birthday experience for my niece, I came across Southern Home and Kitchen. Why…read morewould I take a child to a home goods store, you ask? Look over their events calendar and you'll see they offer several cooking classes a week, including some which are specifically targeted towards children. With a roomy kitchen setup in the back of the store, there are every kind of class you can think of which allow you to try to cuisines, learn new techniques, and try new tools. Today's visit was a children's class, taught by Nissa and assisted by Jennifer (the website lists all the instructor profiles.) Nissa is an elementary school teacher and was FANTASTIC with keeping a group of kids engaged, learning, and feeling welcomed. The kids were given cookbooks, walked step-by-step through several recipes, and got to be hands-on through every step of the process. They learned how to safely use tools, how to mix the ingredients, and at the end of the class got to eat what they had made. My niece LOVED this experience, and as the adult in corner watching I was a bit jealous. Of course, the adults are not required to stay, and they told me some parents choose to go shop or get a treat in Thru-Way while the class happens, but we were also welcome to watch. Personally, I spent some time wandering the store and was enamored with such a massive selection of kitchen tools and home goods. I ended up buying a few of the tools they used during the class to bring home (like a really nifty tool for mincing garlic, or a strawberry huller!). I'm planning to come back and try one of these classes for adults in the future. They told me that some of the adult classes are more observation while some are hands-on, so check the calendar, but I fully recommend checking the classes out for a fun activity. And if education isn't your thing, swing by one afternoon while you're shopping to check out the very broad inventory offerings in the store. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful!

I have learned over the years that whether you have money or not, if you grew up in a household…read morewhere things were difficult financially and daily sacrifices had to be made and things we desired needed to be put on hold on a daily basis, those feelings never really leave you. I have a friend Michael who is a successful psychiatrist out in Los Angeles. He has done very well for himself and has certainly put in the years and years of hard work and dedication in his field to achieve his success. We will often find ourselves fretting over something that costs us an extra $20 as if we were back in the Bronx when our parents lived from paycheck to paycheck. I remember my Grandmother, may she rest in peace, would literally run from store to store to store when she did grocery shopping to save a few pennies here or there. And I am the exact same way. Always shopping at thrift stores, always walking to the back of the store to see what is on sale or needs to be liquidated. Always looking at the price on the menu and not focusing on what I really want. It has served me well in that I have never been in debt, but there is some element of feeling I'm not deserving of something off the top shelf. I finally broke out of my box this weekend as I headed to Casual Furniture World up on Lawndale Avenue with the spirit of my Mom with me the entire time. Mom would yell at me all the time in a loving way, "Why do you always buy second hand clothes and furniture? You work so hard. Why don't you reward yourself and get something nice and new? Why do you always get an old used car? Why don't you treat yourself? You earned the money. You're not asking anybody for anything. You deserve it!" With Mom's voice in my head and heart I drove up Lawndale to Casual Furniture World. As soon as I walked in and saw the salesmen and all the beautiful stuff I got nervous. I'm not used to this. They professionally left me alone for a while as I wandered around looking at gorgeous outdoor fireplaces and tables and chairs and couches and anything you could possibly think of. Eventually a salesman named Jim approached me and asked me if I needed help and the journey began. Jim and I zeroed in on three outdoor sectionals; two wicker sets and one teak wood. I found Jim to be helpful but not pushy and after he quoted me what each of those sectionals would cost and I clutched my pearls, I asked for a little time on my own to make a decision As I walked around contemplating making a $4,000 investment, I was in awe of the gorgeous inventory they had at that place. Nothing is cheap but everything looks quality. They had everything from sectionals to chairs to tables to benches to umbrellas to outdoor fire pits and fireplaces. I kept circling around to this one set that caught my eye. I could just envision myself relaxing on that sectional or even moving some of the pillows and taking a nap on my new screened in porch. But $4,000 when I could get something like this at Home Depot for a fraction of the cost kept tugging at me. And then suddenly I heard Mom's voice and she reminded me that I am buying this furniture and built my screened in porch from the money she left me when she passed last year from covid. On top of that, I could not stop thinking about all the families that within one moment were stricken with tragedy when that condo collapsed in Florida just a few miles from where my grandparents used to have a condo in North Miami Beach. In the end I listened to my Mom like I usually did and purchased the beautiful set. What was even more fun is that the pillows are custom made so I got to pick out some cool colors and not the usual gray black and tan that I usually get. I forgot to ask how long it takes and when they told me 8 to 10 weeks I was kind of shocked but then I had to remember that we are still dealing with the pandemic and nice things take time. I put down my deposit and headed on out and then noticed that they share the space with New Garden Nursery which I had not been to in many years. Cool! As I sat on my almost finished screened in porch this morning with a cup of coffee, I could not help but think how blessed I was to have my beautiful mother for 92 years and that she was giving me this porch and that beautiful outdoor furniture sectional as a gift. How lucky am I? I cannot tell you if there are other stores like Casual Furniture World in the Greensboro area but if you are looking for quality and a large inventory and great service, I was very impressed with this place. In a couple of months I will be sitting on it, hosting friends on it and at night when I remove the pillows and sleep with the sounds of the crickets and birds, I will remember how blessed I am and how much Mom and I loved nature. Moral of the story... Once in a while it's good to just go for it and treat yourself. You deserve it and time is short! Right, Mom??
