One of the wonderful things about working for Dharma Home Suites
is that I get to
visit their different properties and explore the surrounding area
. This month I was asked to go to one of the new properties we just opened at Red Road Commons. The challenge: to demonstrate the effectiveness of our kitchen by cooking a full meal to feed the family. I grabbed a few friends, (including Jay, who is known in our circle for his awesome cooking skills) and went to Miami.
First, we stopped at
Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens for a lesson in Tea Mixology with Adrienne Edkin
. Check out her classes along with many other events at the Fairchild here:
https://fairchildgarden.org/events/
. She taught us all about how to brew teas for cocktails (or for those of us who do not imbibe, “mocktails”) and how to infuse liqueurs with different teas for flavor. After a fun time learning and sampling, we took an all too brief walk through some of the gardens at Fairchild’s beautiful grounds - here is a picture of just one of the places you can see there. I will definitely go back to see more and perhaps take another one of the classes offered.
