I decided to schedule a date night for my wife and I at a new business in town called, “Let’s Cook”.
We had no idea what to expect but ended up having a really fun time. What I liked most about it was the ability to meet new people combined with getting to relate to my wife while cooking food together.
Everyone I know including myself likes going to the movies but you don’t get to communicate with your wife this way. Let’s Cook gives you many chances to laugh and experience many new things together with the one you love.
Unfortunately for many of us guys a romantic gesture that will please the wife doesn’t always come easy. I am one of these guys but I do get it right sometimes. Don’t fall for those diamond ring radio commercials for your last minute Christmas gift idea but go by Let’s Cook and schedule a date with your wife for their next date night class.
You will learn to cook some delicious recipes and will be surprised how easy it is. They will have some prepared food before the lesson you can eat but don’t eat too much as you will make plenty of food together to fill you up for the night. On our night we made several courses including dessert.
In summary, I was most surprised by the passion and charm added by the Italian chef for that night. His name is Al Ippolito and he is a chef, college professor, business owner, and has an extensive career resume. If you have Al as your chef you will not just learn how to cook but will get a great education on Italian culture and life coming from the son of two Italian immigrants from New York City.
Tyler Tea Party to Introduce New Senate Candidate
June 6th, 2011Tomorrow night, Tuesday the seventh, from 6:30 to 8:00, the Tyler Texas Tea Party, will be holding a meeting to introduce Texas Senate candidate Glen Addison to the area public. Local musician “Rusty” Paul Ruark will also be performing his hit song “You Can keep the Change.” From what I’ve read Mr. Addison has no political experience aside from serving on the Magnolia independent school district, school board starting in 1997. Otherwise he’s an area business owner who’s been operating a number of funeral homes and cemeteries in and around his hometown northwest of Houston. Mr. Addison’s platform is socially and fiscally conservative. Personally I must confess to knowing very little about the candidate. But in an election climate that is decidedly anti- incumbent, anti-establishment his lack of political experience may be seen as refreshing by a lot of Texans.
Our State has not been directly influenced by Tea Party candidates thus far. I think this is largely due to the fact that Texas politicians have been more or less compelled to adopt conservative or moderate positions, due to the already right leaning tendency of the state. As a result we have a republican establishment here with a lot of name recognition that can be tough to beat. Putting a little new or “common” blood into the state’s government would be a good idea. I don’t know whether or not Mr. Addison would be able to win, but I can appreciate the presence of more grassroots candidates reminding our party’s old guard that state offices are not their birthright.
