After my 45 age i can change my job after i joined this tour. I think i will not like my wife s meals when we are back to our home. :))
A well choosen menu. Good chef. I got a lot of tips from him for cooking. Let the God forgive me for the things that i will do in our kitchen when i return to my country.
There was Stuffed Melon in menu. Interesting thing. I have never tasted sweet and salty in same time. If you are open new tastes you can join the class. Listen the directions carefully. Otherwise you can do a fruite salat with meat. Ahahaha.
