Hey Cadelle.

[ Look who got all fancy and is doing this video from the teaching kitchen of the Chop Shop... Makeshift tri-pod and all. ]

I figured there was no time like the present to introduce myself. I'm Kendra Saunders and I'm currently working at The Chop Shop as a Culinary Instructor. I can teach anything from boiling water to making a seven course meal to woo that special person in your life. I'm offering group and private lessons... And I'm even offering a volunteering special.

The Samhain Ball is coming up, as we've been told. I was hoping to help cook some of the food offered there. And I might need help from some people. So think of this as a complimentary crash course in the world of appetizers and finger foods.

( kimberly's schedule is admittedly a little too busy between now and next friday to squeeze in extra volunteering... but a cooking class doesn't sound like a terrible idea. might be a nice way to repay a favor. )

as fun as it sounds to make a billion appetizers, a regular class is probably a safer start
do you have a set schedule or is it more of an on demand kind of thing?

[wingedpriestess]

That's a great question!

I'm actually working on getting a more detailed schedule hammered out. However, I'm doing one morning and one afternoon lesson per weekday and then on demand until then.

i think a group class just sounds like a way to horribly embarrass myself in public
but you said you do private lessons, right?

[wingedpriestess]

I understand- we can always work up to that.

I do- at your convenience. So whenever works best for you.

[recoined]

i will totally take you up on that
i just have to find the right time to do it

do you know any spanish dishes? like mexican food but not tacos...

[wingedpriestess]

I totally get that. Just let me know when!

If you're thinking Spanish, I know how to make Paella. Mexican I've got a few empanada recipes up my sleeve. I can always research more if there's something specific you're wanting to try out.

[recoined]

i'm not sure what the category would be, tbh
just trying to avoid a taco bell vibe, you know?

( but just in case the whole 'learn how to cook' thing is a failure... )

do you do private chef stuff too?
that might be safer
i'd really like to avoid accidentally poisoning anybody

[wingedpriestess]

I totally get it. :D

And yeah, I can. I'd have to figure out what to really charge, but I'm flexible.

[recoined]

that would be great

if you ever need a cardio boost, i teach zumba at crunches a few days a week
i'd be glad to throw a private lesson or two in if you ever wanted one
fair's fair, right?

[wingedpriestess]

You know, I've never tried zumba.
That could be fun.

I think that's a more valuable trade than money. :D

[recoined]

if you're capable of jumping jacks and keeping to the beat, you'll be fine
it's actually a lot of fun

( as far as workouts go, anyway. but kimberly has a good time, and her classes usually are at least half-full, so it seems like a fair offer in her book. )

i'll let you know when a class or a meal will work and then you can let me know when you wanna come by for some one-on-one stuff
