Hello Luscious friends,

This is a very special week for me.  I am gearing up for Sat. evening when I am having an italian cooking class for 10 wonderful people.  I donated this to an auction recently for The Ada Jenkins Center in Davidson, NC.  This is a wonderful place for those in need.  My bunco group even is donating our winnings to the center now, we all feel very strongly about supporting this organization.

The class started out for 6 and has quickly grown to 10.  I am so thrilled.  I thought I would share the menu with you all and the recipes will be following after the weekend with pictures of the event.
