The wife and I continued our Groupon and LivingSocial addiction. We decided to take a Thai cooking course at The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) instead of doing another archery, motorcycle riding, or NRA pistol certification class. In truth, I have recently become totally fixated on cooking related shows. Anything with Gordon Ramsey is an immediate season pass selection on the TiVos. So when I saw the Groupon offer a couples thai cooking class I thought that it would be another great opportunity to get out for the night with my girl.
Chef Vicki Caparulo was our instructor for the evening. She was absolutely amazing! She seemed to have that stern and scary “Gordon Ramsey” demeanor at first but turned out to be a total sweetheart. Chef Vicki started teaching this couples class many years ago with her husband Steve. Ski and I learned so much from just this one class. I am seriously thinking about taking a more in depth class over the summer so that I learn to cook a few more healthy meals for the family. And just in case the whole college professor thing doesn’t work out, I hear that there are always lots of job openings for trained speciality chefs.
