Cooking class in Roppongi

A couple weeks ago, Kim--by chance--found an ad online for a cooking school that just opened up in Tokyo Midtown and teaches classes in both English and Japanese. Since it's a new school in the area, they're giving trial lessons all this month. Just sign up with a partner and pay 500 yen (about $4.50 USD) and you're in! She signed us up last week and tonight we went to the ABC Cooking school in Roppongi and made a Matcha Chiffon Cake (matcha means 'green tea' in Japanese). Here are a few pics of our night:

In a really big effort to get us to enroll in their cooking school, they've offered us another trial lesson--this one will be FREE--next week. We're going to make bread...

Oh my gosh! That looks like so much fun! What a deal, too. Man, seeing you in the pictures just makes me miss hanging out...

Thank you for the "donut" card, by the way. It is proudly on display in my bedroom. I didn't know if it was quite fit for public exhibition... :)

I'm headed to take a nap, I think. I've been a bit under the weather for the past week and a half, and I think a little rest will be good.

Miss you!!
Loads of love,
