Well folks, the moment has come. It’s the end of 2010! This year has been another stellar year for us, and we’re immensely thankful you tune in to see what we’re dishing up each week. Right now Chrystal is enjoying a much needed vacay in beautiful Italy, but before she departed we celebrated the holidays here in LA. Like us, a few of our friends didn’t travel to their perspective hometowns to spend Christmas.

This class, like every other Hipcooks class before it, always sends us into a tizzy about what we can make in our own kitchens. It’s an addiction, you know. Once we start the brain a-moving, we can’t stop. It goes without saying that we are very excited by food. When we start talking about food and recipes, it is clear that we are in our own world. It was evident to others in the class because we spent a third of the session whispering to each other different soup ideas, substitutions and additions that were coming to mind at the time. We were paying attention to our lovely teacher, really we were, but so many thoughts were running through our heads, we had to let them out.
