I've got the music in me...

So, this month I ventured into two areas that are not within my comfort zone, per se: cooking and Salsa dancing.

I signed up for a cooking class at the Kitchen Conservatory. Along with my friends Kara and Jessi, we were treated to amazing culinary creations under the theme of "Green with Envy." Our chef for the night started us off with homemade tortilla chips (deep fried, baby!!) and guacamole with roasted corn and chipotle peppers--ah-mazing!!! Next she served Midori sours (I abstained). Spinach salad with warm bacon and Dijon dressing and glazed pecans came next. Isn't everything better with bacon? Basil Lime chicken was served and then a key lime tart. While it was more of a demonstration class, it was lovely to watch the meal being cooked and waiting in anticipation for the next course. I would definitely enroll again, but I would take a hands on class.

Salsa at Flavor is going well. I truly wish I had someone to video how uncoordinated I am. I have two more lessons and I am contemplating taking the Beginning II class. It is fun and such a great workout. Like anything I just need to practice. The class is small so we do get quite a bit of extra instruction.

So, for next month I have some decisions to make: I really want to learn to play the guitar and I want to get started on learning another language (most likely Russian). We'll see where the month takes me.
