Last week we hosted a food blogger preview of a class that we are doing with Jam Sanitchat this upcoming Thursday at her store, Thai Fresh. (NOTE: At present there are still a few tickets available for this event. Please email Jam at thai-fresh.com to confirm. Tickets for class are $55). Jam is serving up three easy classic Thai appetizers, two of which will be taught hands-on in the kitchen. The Tipsy Texans are doing three classic summer cocktails, with three easy variations. There is no shortage of food, drink, or good times.

We had a full house for the preview event and are looking forward to a full house for the class on Thursday. Thanks to Addie Broyles of the Austin American-Statesman for attending and writing about our event at her Relish Austin blog. Also in attendance were Rachel and Logan from Boots in the Oven; Jodi Bart and Adam from Tasty Touring; Kate Thornberry of HungerSauce and the Austin Chronicle, who wrote about the event here; Jennie from Miso Hungry; and a few more who I can't think of right now but who I'm sure I'll hear from shortly.

This photo is typical of how things work when we do a lecture or class: I talk while Joe works

There are a few tickets left so take a hot date or get your momma that mother's day gift you forgot to get...see you in class!
