Another of my passions is cooking. For years I was a weekend cook. When my children were little, I was a single mom working all the time, so we would routinely stop to eat at one happy hour or another at different restaurants on the way home. It wasn't until the kids were grown and gone, and the demands upon my time were lessened, that I began to cook. Now, I am a gourmet cook and love to entertain.
Yes, I frequently have friends over for dinner or parties. I like wine tastings and food pairing. And I enjoy collecting plates, serving dishes, party-ware, and can spend hours at the kitchen and gourmet food stores. It was at one of these stores that I found this fabulous rolling cooler with all the plates, wine glasses, and stuff included.
It was the summer of 2006, and every Friday night there was a jazz concert in the park. I attended each performance, and without exception, someone would always come up to me and ask me where I had gotten that fabulous cooler? It was then that I decided I needed to sell these coolers. And now I do, along with picnic backpacks, wine and cheese totes, and great picnic baskets at www.thegetawaygourmet.com , a website I launched in October 2006.
I was able to combine my love of travel and the outdoors, with gourmet cooking, entertaining, great wine, and stylish, quality goods. And I started talking about all of my passions at www.facebook.com/getawaygourmet and here at The Adventures of the Getaway Gourmet blog. So, if you like the same things I do, I invite you to LIKE The Getaway Gourmet on Facebook, and receive special FANS ONLY discounts, FREE cookbooks, and FUN monthly drawings.
