Pointless Poll Time!

I turned down the chance to go to Malice Domestic so I could put the money into the house or the cards... and now I have the potential of spending the same amount of money on cooking classes. I rationalize this by thinking that I'm getting more out of learning cooking skills than being tempted to buy books.

This is not a bad rationalization. Or so I tell myself.

Anyway! Today I signed up for a cheesemaking class. I have options to also take one-day classes in breadmaking, sauce and salsa making, and/or How To Use a Knife (I don't so much chop things as molest them to pieces.)

And you get to tell me where to go. So to speak.

Ninja knife skills are useful no matter what you're cooking. (I love to watch Jacques Pepin do his knife thing -- pure art.) Breadmaking is also useful & fun -- not to mention manhandling yeast dough can be very therapeutic: yeast only gets happier when you thump it around. Sauce & salsa sounds like a tasty class, esp. if it focuses on the base sauces you can build variations on. If you have the time and the $$, go for all of them, if not I'd say knife skills will pay you back the most.

Only the urge to spend sensibly is stopping me from taking all of them... and I stand a chance of balancing it out by buying stained glass window cling for the bathroom instead of an actual antique stained glass window.
