Exotic Cooking Vacations

Cooking Vacations?! I recently noticed on  Bloomspot that they are featuring several cooking vacations. Three packages are posted ranging from Bangkok, Mexico, and Virginia wine country. They feature unique experiences in exotic locations with one-of-kind culinary instruction.

Personally I am most intrigued by the Thailand vacation. In addition to learning how to make 22 dishes, your will be introduced to the floating markets, tour temples and the grand palace, and stay in a swanky hotel room.

$230 for Rocking Chaise Lounge Chair reg $600

As summer is half over, most of the out door furniture is moving to clearance pricing. Being a fan of clean lines (and who doesn't like rocking chairs!?), I wanted to share this little piece of the beach with you.

07/09/12 - Rock Climbing, Dwell Magazine, iTunes, and Bedding

$39 for 3-Hour Rock Climbing Basics Class 

I have always wanted to learn the basics of climbing movement, belaying, and rappelling but have not been so keen on the rock climbing wall. With this deal you can learn the basics while experiencing the beauty of Boulder Canyon, Chautauqua Park, Table Mountain, or Clear Creek Canyon

$12 for 1-Year Subscription (10 issues) to Dwell Magazine – a $20 Value 

Dwell is a magazine for designers, want-to-be designers, and those who love design. When referring to design, I am talking about all types - interior, graphic, industrial, furniture, landscape etc. I subscribe to Dwell and every month when I retrieve the latest issue from my mail box, I am reminded why I got into design in the  first place (for those who don't know me in the real world, yes, I am an interior designer by trade). 

$12 for 1-Year subscription to Dwell through Plum Steal

$5 for $10 iTunes Gift Card at Saveology 

OK, there is a caveat - This is for first time buyers at Saveology. I am including this, because there are quite a few of you who have never heard of Saveology and can take advantage of this deal. Saveology is pretty much the same as other group buying web sites but the deals don't expire as quickly as some of the other sites. 

           

$29 -$35 for a 4 Piece Sheet Set 250 Thread Count 

Oooooh ... I love new sheets! Choose from 10 colors. Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two  pillow cases. 

$29-$35 for 4-piece Sheet Set through Groupon

$29 for 7-Piece Comforter Set w/ Bed Skirt, 2 Pillow Shams & 3 Decorative Pillows - 6 Patterns

I guess as long as I am talking about bedding I might as well include this deal too. Actually you could get all new bedding combining the previous deal with this one for  $58. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this is Egyptian cotton, but I do think that it is definitely a good bang for the buck.

Happy Hour at The Hornet

I have been enjoying some of my favorite dishes at The Hornet for years. Recently I discovered their happy hour food menu. All items are under $5 and are the full sized versions. I particularly like the $2 fish taco, that has crunchy beer battered cod with a slaw made from refreshing cucumbers and cabbage. They also have a Carnitas Taco, that my fiance really likes.

Happy Hour is every day from 3-6 and $3 draft, well, and house wine. If you are going for dinner or lunch my favorites that are not on Happy Hour, that are a must-try, are the Lobster Mac and their bread pudding is AMAZING!
