Pick-up lines, working out, fashion (white sneakers do NOT go well with black jeans), marriage, cars, smartphones, laundry........ quite a sobering and humbling experience when you realize you're not a Sheen Goddess. For me, apparently, cooking is yet another one of my non-talents. A group of us attended Savory Green U last night to delve head-first into the secrets of non-phone-order fine dining. How to clean mushrooms, how to properly saute onions (DEFinately was doing that one wrong for 20 years..), how to zest a lemon, and use ramekins in setting up the 'mis en place'......... Admit it, I sound sexy now, no? Taught by Tracy Stamos (who may or may not be related to John Stamos), we learned about the long term and meaningful benefits of organic food, non-processed ingredients, and most importantly, efficient process in prepping and cooking. What makes SGU a bit different from other culinary classes is that Tracy takes a meaningful 'green' approach to teaching and cooking. Applying her Harvard degree in Environmental Sustainability, on top of her two education degrees, and combining it with food science and art from the Cambridge Culinary Institute, Tracy has created a niche in.... ............ "Sustainable Yum Yum". Teaching out of a brand new, commercial-grade kitchen in her home, SGU comes complete with a huge kitchen packed with Star Wars grade shiny pots, pans, weapons, and trinkets. After cooking is complete, students transfer to the extremely comfortable and classy dining room to feast on the completed food art under gorgeous chandelier lighting. Need a breather? You can sprawl out on one of the uber comfy couches in the attached living room, and bask in your newly acquired Jedi food tricks to woo your future romance. There is no intimidation factor here for first-timers, as Tracy's attentiveness immediately puts to ease any anxieties you may have. Highly recommend it! PS - she caters too!

I hardly ever get to connect with anyone any more. I think the closest I've gotten to meaningful…read morehuman interaction lately outside my home was when I flipped a guy the bird this morning when he cut me off on route one. Everyone has their face pushed up into their smart phones, iPods, lap tops and even when they're not, it seems they would rather look at their own scuffed shoes then say hi to someone. Tony invited me to cook with Tracy Stamos and friends at Savory Green. I love to cook. I cook all the time. I figured an opportunity to get out, learn a new recipe or two and see friends would be fun. There were 9 of us plus Tracy and her assistant. We were given the nights menu and tasks were divided up among us. We were given the task of creating the pork loin dish. It was an Herbed Coated Pork Tenderloin with ingredients like fresh parsley, mint, sage and dates. Yes she had an herb garden growing right on the table. Tracy's forte is sustainable cooking. Oh, and this is a state of the art kitchen. It was freaking awesome. I loved having knives that Freddy Krueger would be jealous of and two ovens as well as tons of cooking stuff...... There's something great about getting your hands right into food and making it yourself. The smells, tasting it as you begin to pull it together, cutting, marinating, mixing, basting, ... It's primal. It's also fun. BUT the thing I was getting at which made this so amazing, was the communal feeling of being with a group, working together to create something, having real interesting conversation and enjoying the fruits of our labors together. Quality time. That's what this was. Too often we go out to bars and drink ourselves stupid. We scream to be heard above the roar of crappy music and go home feeling like we might as well have skipped the whole night. This was the opposite of that. I got to enjoy delicious food. I got to enjoy good people. We ate in a beautiful living room with wine and the food WE cooked and continued our conversation and YES I was the life of the party but that isn't the point. The point is we all connected. I left full with a doggy bag wanting to hug people again. I didn't....but that's why I need to go back. We need to put down our phones and look around. We all need to experience things sometimes. Smell the sage, goat cheese and mint that's out there. Taste new things and experience things out of our comfort zones sometimes as well as hear what people have to say as we really listen to them. I loved this night. I would go back again and share this experience with others. And I will. Special Thanks to Tony and Tracy.

I really liked the chocolate covered oranges in particular! I ended up buying chocolate covered ginger and a tea-coffee flavor set of five.

The jasmine tea white chocolate rose was also delicious and the tea flavor was surprisingly rich. It's not cheap but it's well worth a nice gift for yourself or someone else!

Recently at check out my item was $10 more than was listed on the shelf. $35 for a pretty standard 5x7 picture frame. I would have caught that if there was a price checker around. Many items do not have prices at all, and besides going up to the register, there is no way to find out. This isn't a store you can rely on to complete a project as they are often out of stock of just about everything. I don't think they've had white acrylic craft paint in stock for 5 years! Also on my last trip there registers were completely unstaffed. There was one staff memeber in the general area directing people to the self checkout. As another poster mentioned this store is a cell phone signal dead zone. I wonder if that's on purpose. Do not count on being able to access your Michael's account to get any coupons while in the store. Plan on printing them out ahead of time if you'd like to use them. My friend thought I was joking until we went to this store together and I told her "watch, I won't be able to get my coupon". Yup. Why do I keep going back? Well every few months they send me a $5 coupon to spend on anything. So if I have time to kill, I browse the store for a craft kit or something else I can donate to Toys for Tots every Christmas. If I need craft supplies, I'll shop on Amazon like everyone else.
