I was feeling all the feels today as I taught my last class at Different Drummer's Kitchen Co. After almost 10 years and many ups and downs (but mostly ups,) I walked out feeling grateful for the time spent there, doing what I love to do.
And always grateful to Kathleen Saso for connecting me to this job. 💗💗
Stay tuned, Albany friends… we’re determined to make another cooking school happen.

I had lunch with my beautiful mother and she was full of charm and wit. Quick, she said, take your picture before I drain the glass!
