Learning to Cook //SARA SNEATH
I know how to work a microwave, fry an egg and even cook chicken well enough that it won't kill you, but I'd really like to learn how to cook a meal I can share with friends. That's why I attended a cooking class at the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St.
The Community Mercantile, better known as The Merc, holds about four cooking classes each week. Nancy O'Connor, the director of education and outreach at the Merc, says the classes are all taught by professional chefs. Nancy Stark taught the vegetarian, Mexican themed night I attended.
Stark, a Kansas City trained chef who has taught at the French Culinary Institute in New York City, says she enjoys the Merc crowd because they are more engaged than other audiences she teaches in Kansas City. Stark says a lot of times people come to her cooking class for entertainment, but the Lawrence crowd comes to learn.
The doors to the Merc classroom opened 20 minutes before the class began promptly at 7 p.m. The classroom is a dinner type setting; there are four, large rectangular tables with 21 place settings. Imagine a live audience for a cooking show, subtract the studio lights and add quaint little candles and the scent of
cooked tomatoes.
Ellen Raimond, a graduate student from Naperville, Ill., says she and her friends began attending the classes as part of a New Years resolution. She says she has made a cinnamon roll ring she learned how to bake in the last class she attended, which was dessert themed.
Raimond says the $18 course fee is worth it to her. Not only is she taught by a professional chef, she also gets to eat a full meal cooked by one. Don't come full, Raimond says.
The vegetarian tamales we learned to cook the night I attended required using a steamer and patience, neither of which I have. However, Stark, the chef, also taught us how to make chocolate pudding tarts. I'll be using the homemade pudding recipe in the future, with or without the tart.

Wear This... Cardigan Sweater //LIZZIE MARX
Whether your personal style is purely preppy or eccentric chic, there is no better way to add a pop of color to your wardrobe than with a cardigan sweater. Spring is right around the corner, so it's time to start the transformation from your winter wears to the newest spring fashion trends, one of them being the cardigan.
Urban Outfitters has challenged the classic cardigan, bringing it to a whole new level. Say goodbye to the stuffy, 'looks like it just came from your grandmother's closet' cardigan and hello to the newly updated, slightly longer, yet still classic sweater. With its lightweight cotton material, this hassle-free cardigan pairs perfectly with jeans and a t-shirt for day but can easily transition to nighttime over your favorite dress. Available in an array of bright colors at Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., this is just what you need to make it through what is left of the winter blues.
My personal favorite color for this sweater is the citron yellow. When paired with contrasting turquoise jewelry, the vibrant colors will give your skin the appearance of a sun-
And at a price as good as $39, this sweater is just another reason to anticipate the arrival of spring.
