WHAT'S COOKING GOOD LOOKING?

Okay, I'm not really good looking in these photos. Rainy saturday ... aka my day off from sunscreen and makeup. (also I've been thinking - shouldn't sunscreen be covered for skin cancer patients? Nutrogena's been getting a lot of my money. Just saying.)

Cooking class #1 complete. The follow through was made a little easier by the fact that I dragged along BF. But it was FUN! A couple thoughts:

- we made really yummy candied nuts. Except the teacher kept saying things like "depending on how warm you like your nuts" and "if you like your nuts on the spicier side." Apparently no one else hears this and gets thrown into a fit of giggles.

- of course she made me crack the eggs for the class. This gives me hives. I must have ruined some pie in my past life by getting shell in the eggs.

- expensive knives make cooking easier. Reason #435 to get engaged so we can register for all this stuff that we'll use once.

- I finally found something in the kitchen I'm better at than BF - rolling empanadas. Only downside is that we'll probably never ever again make empanadas. Maybe we should've taken the Indian cooking class instead of tapas.

Major bonus of the class was that they "taught us how to make

sangria" and then served it. So I was sufficiently buzzed by the

time we sat down for the cute dinner we made.

Parting thought: If wine is served, I will go back for more! Goal 1.5: Cook one of these things at home. Probably the flan.
