Special Thanks to Steve Sando of Rancho Gordo...

For your generous spirit and incomparable heirloom beans,

both of which enlivened our Sonoma County Cassoulet Class here on Nov.12. I've been flooded with cards and emails from students still raving about what an inspiring time they had and we all want to thank you for your part in making that happen.

So thank you. And congratulations on all the great things that keep coming your way. You more than deserve them. [Readers please learn more at www.ranchogordo.com]
