I was sitting here a few minutes ago watching a chef dice onions on Top Chef and I remembered the list I wrote last year of things I wanted to accomplish before I turned 30. One of those items was to take a cooking class.
I fire up my laptop and browse a few of the sites I bookmarked in the past to see what classes are being offered right now. The first site I visit was AZ Cooking which hosts Kitchen Classics Cooking Classes. They have a knife skills class, a class I've been wanting to take for years, next Thursday August 30th-- 1 day before my birthday.
I click on the description and remember this is a 10-week class that costs nearly $500. I wanted to sign up for this class in January but didn't have any extra cash. Today I have extra cash but am worried the class is already full. A phone number is listed to call to register and I figure that it's probably a recording since it's nearly 9pm.
I call the number fully expecting to hear a mechanical voice tell me the semester is full and try again next year, but a friendly woman's voice answers. They only take 12 students and have 7 spots filled right now. They won't even distribute the flyer until next week as the class fills up so fast. The school is located halfway between work and home and the classes are Thursday evenings at a time that would work for my schedule.
Destiny seems to be at play with this one and I give her my credit card information.
I'm excited. What a good birthday present!
