SEAFOLK 8am - 5pm day 04 cooking school in maine

Welcome back to day 04 of cooking school in Maine. We started our day at a really cute cafe called Sea Fork before going to a tour at Tender Wild Farm. Tender Wild Farm is a small, locally produced farm. They don't use tractors, everything is no-till and organic, so it was really awesome to check that out. It's so inspiring seeing how much can be grown on such a small plot of land and in a climate that is so varied all throughout the year. Thank goodness tomato season is basically here now. After perusing the farm store, we went to a little cove and went for a swim. We had some downtime before our flower arranging workshop, so my dad and I found a little lake to swim at. When we first signed up for this course, my dad was kind of making fun of the flower arranging course because he didn't think it was for him, but look how into it he got. I've never seen him so focused on picking the right flowers, the right color scheme and making sure it was all perfect in his face. He's so cute. He keeps talking about what he's going to make for my mom when we get back, so I'm sure flower arranging will be added to that. Since we did the tour in the morning, our evening was actually a cooking course. We did all things hors d'oeuvres and small plates. Tally and I partnered up so we could tackle the beef together, which was an intimidating dish for both of us, but I think we kind of slayed it. I was kind of tipsy off my French 75, but I walked around the kitchen, saw what everybody else was making. The chocolate soufflés looked amazing. And then I had to fry some basil, which was honestly really scary because there's a lot of liquid and basil. But we played it everything up and everyone did absolutely amazing. And then we had our little dinner at the barn. It was so cute. Bye.
