Must. Resist. Mind Meld. Romulans mustn’t teach. Children to remain behind. Beam me outta here before comments git turned off.

What do you think of the updated Romulan design in the new Star Trek movie, joes? More Garzesque or less?

Please publish the session dates of the classes.
Thank you!

What about news on the hot new TV show ‘ol squinty’s been talking about for way over a year?

Latest on her new multi unit restaurant project she’s “about ready to roll out” after seven years of hard work on the concept?

Stick to what you know Squinty — way over charging kids parents, hawking aprons, and making up crap to feed to the media. BTW love your profile on the wanna date a millionaire website. Way classy.

Ms. Garza’s classes do seem like a very highly priced dollar commitment for parents with children in her target age group, especially in this economy.
I’ve participated as a parent in kid friendly classes before that are being offered at Sur la Table and the Viking Store on McKinney Ave. They are hands-on, all inclusive, and very professionally taught by their chef instructors.
The cost was quite reasonable and a fraction of Ms. Garza’s fees.

Janet, just out of curiosity what did the classes cost and how long were they?
girloftheworld @ May 16th, 2009 at 6:10 pm

NOT FAIR! I don’t live in Dallas! I would sooooooo be there!
Cost? Ummmm 450.00 for A WEEK!!!! ever price out the cost of a four hour summer cheer or dance camp? And they make you bring your lunch and buy uniforms! If I went to Lisa’s class I would still be using what I learned for the rest of my life. I doubt I would be screaming ” we got the spirit yes we do” when I am 23. at least I hope not.

@GOTW — you’re costing out the prices on four hour @ day summer camp(s) for kids based on $450.00 a week?

The last blog of yours I saw a few months back you stated that you were only EIGHT YEARS OLD. I’m sorry but I’m afraid I’m going to have to tell your third grade teacher that you’re a fibber.

Price out the cost — hahaha — sounds a wee bit like something Lisa might say.

I am NINE now! I am not sure what your point is supouse to be. My mom told me to ignore you so I can guess you aren’t being nice. My teacher knows i am not a fibber and my mommy does to and its true about cheer camp because i heard the moms talking about how much it cost at football practice and I play football I dont cheer so there!
