So, for starters I logged on to the Sage culinary school website to see what kind of classes they offer. This is going to be exciting. It was to bad that that night was the canning 101 class. No way I was going to make it to that one. Hopefully they will have one again in September that I will be able to go to.
Next was to buy my first book on Home-Ec. It was actually titled "Home-Ec 101: Skills For Every Day Living" by Heather Solos. I tell you, it has already helped me out in the house. I am the first to admit that I am not one to know anything about appliance maintenance and those kinds of things. But I am now learning. The first thing I learned (go ahead and laugh at this one) was that Refrigerators have coils in them that need to be cleaned. So, thankfully this book told me wear to look for them, and how to clean them. I looked. I almost did not see them due to the almost half an inch layer of dirt in front of them. I got out the vaccuume and began. An hour after I was done, I actually had to adjust the temperature inside my fridge because it was getting to cold. How's that for making it run more efficiantly?? Next was on to cleaning the kitchen sink properly. But this book is so much more than that. It has things from Appliance maintenance, to cooking a Turkey, to how to do laudry, and about everything inbetween. I can't wait to work through this whole book, and really relearn all the things i thought I knew how to do, and was just getting them horribly wrong most of my adult life.
Maybe in a year or so, my post heading will be Domestic Diva.... Yes!!
