yes I think that layout works a lot better for the workshop next month. I spoke with Janet and she confirmed the back room can hold about twenty people comfortably so we should be good on space. The projector mount is already installed near the ceiling so we will not need to bring our own stand which saves some hassle. She also mentioned there is a small kitchenette adjacent where we can set up coffee and snacks. I told her we would handle setup around 8:30 and break down by 4:30. Do you still plan to bring those laminated handouts or should I print extras from the file you shared last week. I can pick up a few more folding chairs from the supply closet just in case attendance runs higher than expected. Also I wanted to ask if you think we need a separate table for the sign-in sheet and name tags or if the front desk area is enough. Let me know what you think about the timing for the morning break because we could shift it slightly if the first session runs long.

the recipe you asked about is actually pretty straightforward once you break it down. I made it last weekend for a small dinner and everyone seemed to enjoy it. the key is to let the onions caramelize slowly over medium-low heat for at least twenty-five minutes before adding the garlic because rushing that step changes the whole flavor base. I used about two tablespoons of olive oil and a pat of butter to get that richer taste. after the onions turn golden you add the crushed tomatoes and let it simmer uncovered for another fifteen minutes so it thickens slightly. I seasoned with salt black pepper and a pinch of smoked paprika which gives it a subtle warmth without being spicy. if you want to add protein you can brown some ground beef or Italian sausage beforehand and then stir it in with the tomatoes. I served it over pappardelle but any wide noodle works. fresh basil on top right before serving makes a difference. let me know if you try it and what you think.
