Have you ever want to save an article to read later without being on the internet or printing it out?  Do you ever need to compile research on a subject and would like to keep it all digital?

Trivia:  PDF is short for Portable Document Format.

It's very easy to create a .pdf file of an article and save it on your computer, available without internet connection to read.  All you have to do is click on Print in your File Menu. At the bottom of the box asking you the specifics of how you would like to print is a tab called "PDF."  Click on that tab to find a drop down menu.



Then click on Save PDF.



You will be given a chance to name the PDF file you are creating as well as decide where to store it.  

Voila!  Saving trees and articles!

Visiting the Culinary Studio

My husband's birthday was last week.  He has always enjoyed cooking and we both get a kick out of watching cooking shows on TV.  With this in mind, in honor of his birthday, I signed us up for a group cooking class at the Chateau Elan



Wow!  What a treat.  Chateau Elan paired with Viking to create a dream kitchen, they call the Culinary Studio where chefs from their restaurants teach some cooking basics, helping each participant create a meal.  All the while serving wine from their own vineyard.  Talk about a great time!



Our class had a few couples and some small groups of girlfriends enjoying the festivities.  We learned tips about dicing shallots ~ don't cut all the way to the end, made a tasty panzanella salad to go with our smoked salmon and spinach frittata, and of course ignited the obligatory bananas foster flaming show as a finale.  (I will post the movie of Dave making fire on Facebook ~ Friend Me!)


We had a fabulous time, made several new friends, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of creating art in a different medium.
