The challenge:
Teaching a cooking class for 25 participants. Demonstration style- I do all the work, talking, educating, cooking, serving. ( I have two assistants to help stir and wash dishes as needed)
Goals: Meet class topic of teaching how to make 5 different dinner pies and having them done in time for everyone to watch how they are made and get to eat them too.
Challenges. Cooking 5 entrees for 25 people in 2.5 hours, including cooking time. Average bake time range from 25-45 minutes. Also includes making polenta from scratch (one crust), vegan bechamel sauce (to go on mushroom pie), and vegan gravy(to top shepherds pie). Each takes about 20 minutes.
Perks: I will have 6 burners, two full size ovens, two arms, two assistants, and a pretty good ability to multi-task.

Can I get a "you can do it!" with a promise from me to update tomorrow to see if I can claim that this is something I can actually do?

You can do this! You will ROCK this!!

(and as for the cheesecake vs kale comments earlier, while I know that you 1000% support the need to indulge in cheesecake, I also have no doubt that you'd probably find a way to sneak some kale into it if you could!)

OK, getting back on track, I can:

• Fold my hands in half so that my fingers are completely flat against my palms.
• Make my tongue into a tube (can't everyone do that? or is that one of those genetic weird things?)
• Follow a really good lead dancer to the point that it appears as if I really know what I'm doing even when I definitely do not!
• Explain the DOS commands or Lotus 123 comman sequences needed to do a certain activity (ok, so I'm a geek dinosaur).
• Read freakishly fast.
• Explain the basics of subnetworking so that pretty much anyone who wants to get it can actually get it, and teach you binary and hexadecimal math in the process
• Parallel park in very small spots (though I manage to frequently screw up parking in oversized spots!)
