Calling all Singles!

Over the last few weeks I have been helping a former co worker out with building up her business. Cookology is a recreational cooking school, with its own blog and a great location in the Dulles Town Center mall. Loudoun County is a suburb of Washington, DC. I live in a more urban area of Washington, DC and I find it hard to meet good quality men who I'd like to date. One of the areas that we're trying to get going is Single's Night.

I have put out the feelers to some single's event organizers, some meet-up groups and some of my single friends. In the DC area, there are many singleton's and we all could tell our horror stories. However, what better idea to meet someone than in a class where you both have a common interest. For me, cooking is a social event. You've got great food, good conversation and wine. I love to entertain. I am always looking to learn a different recipe, and I attempt to master it until I deem it "perfection."

If you're looking for single, looking to mingle in the DC metro area, get into touch with me and we'll get some events up and running on the September calendar.

Kids & Obesity

It's been in the news lately that America is FAT! Even our poor kids are getting a bad rap. How do they get these unhealthy habits you ask? I believe it starts with our relationship with food.

This news story calls our attention to the staggering rates of obesity in children statewide. As a northerner I am not surprised by the southern states leading the charge in obesity. All that comfort food and delicious delights to enjoy. As a young adult I have struggled with my own relationship with food. So you're reading this and you're like what is the point of all of this?

My new gig where I am responsible for generating new business hosts cooking classes for kids. It helps teach them how to prepare their own meals, and can even help them improve their relationship with food. You can sign up your kids for a special one time class or even an intense summer camp. If you're interested in helping your kid fight the fat or learn more about cooking, please visit their website at www.cookologyonline.com.

The product and the service are great. Culinary masters created the material and execute the program. Drop me a line there at beth@cookologyonline.com if you would like some more info.
