Hi Chef,

I want to thank you for such a wonderful class on Thursday. I had never cooked beans that were ready so fast. I guess soaking them overnight does it!

I have never made salad dressing from scratch and it I will try to make my favorite, blue cheese dressing.

Have a wonderful day!

Gracias!
