A tasty opportunity...

My sister and I have been talking over the last few weeks about taking some cooking classes (Yea, like we need cooking lessons!!). For those that read Biscuit Girl's blog (http://yougonnaeatallthat.blogspot.com/), you know that she lives around the Washington D.C. area. That area has probably the highest amount of culinary choices/experiences anyone could imagine. Many of the restaraunts in the area offer cooking classes, or demonstrations that include hands-on preparation, cooking, and plating, as well as wine pairings/tastings.

Biscuit Girl sent me a pretty large listing of restaraunts that offer cooking classes. There were so many to choose from...Lebanese, Italian, French, Asian, you name it.... The prices of these courses ranged from $40-$250 per class and last about 4 hours. While I could not come to a decision on the course I wanted to take, nor the time I wanted to take it, Biscuit Girl made the decision for me. We are going to take a course at Galileo working with lobster !!! YUMMMMM. It was a tough decision for me, especially not living in te area (I live in East Tennessee), so I'll have to fly up there and airfares are not cheap right now. Luckily I found a decently cheap flight, just over $200 round-trip. At least I'll be able to fly into Reagan National Airport, hop on the Metro, go a few stops and be at Biscuit Girl's home in no time.

One of the hardest parts of taking this class is I'll have to leave my wife, Dough-girl, at home. She really, really, wants to go back to D.C. to hit a few of the touristy spots that we were forced to miss due to 9/11. But she's not able to take the time off from work right now. I really hate doing this, but she'll have our two cats (Mini and Skittles) to comfort some. THANK YOU HONEY, I LOVE YOU !!!

I'll definitely post more on this when we take the class at the end of July.....Stay tuned...
