I am pouting because the Atlanta Viking Cooking School will be hosting
Michael Ruhlman on a night I have to work and I won't be able to go.
I've never attended a program there and wondered if anyone here has
taking any of their programs? Enjoy it? Find it a good value for the
cost? There are 11 Viking Cooking Schools around the country.

Is he coming there to promote his new book, The Elements of Cooking?
It is getting good reviews, for the most part...and is on my list...

See todays Ruhlman blog entry. His book sounds great and I think I'll be
getting it for myself and some gifts.

Yeah, it was up there this weekend. Bourdain did the intro to the
book, I think.

I do like Ruhlman so much. Have you read any of his books? I have
his Chef series, and the cookbook he did with Eric Ripert, and the
Bouchon cookbook. The first one he did with Thomas Keller is on my
list too, but I doubt I will cook much from it, if I get it: The
French Laundry Cookbook. Bouchon seems much more approachable to me.

Ruhlman and Bourdain will be in NYC together at a Barnes and Nobles next
week. Lets meet up in NY and check 'em out! I could do that easily enough.

I wish I could. But I am two weeks into my new contract here...and
not much time off right now. Plus I am halfway across the country....

Hint...ask Tammy.. Of course, you will have to fight for access to
Bourdain...if you do that..

Goomba, Any chance of taking off for that night?? This would be pretty
special and if it is not going to happen again for awhile, might just
be worth it.

Hah!!!

Do you know how hard it is for a nurse to get a night off?????? LOL. I
am trying to find someone to trade with for a night when an old long
lost friend is coming into town... Fat Chance!! Nurses can't just
say they aren't coming in, unless they are sick... There has to be
someone to cover for them...ie, another nurse to take their place. And
one with the same skill set.

Christine, who sometimes thinks that being a nurse is the pits.

Thankfully I work with a great group of nurses and we cover for each
other readily enough. I was thinking of asking one of the day shifters
if I did their 7 AM to 12 PM hours, they could come in at noon and stay
till 12 AM for me and then I'd be able to go to the program as well as
work. We don't have to bother management with the details and it works
nicely as then people aren't just calling off (we don't have to give a
reason when we call in and say we won't be able to work) when they know
they have something else going on.

I don't see an address on this. Is it Atlanta, GA or Atlanta in Italy?

Yeah, I'm considering how I could swing it?? It does sound like a great
night to be there. We self schedule at work so I certainly would not
have signed up to work that night had I but known enough in advance of
his program. I have now signed up for email updates from Viking so
perhaps I won't be behind the eight ball again.....

I have taken some classes at the Viking Cooking school. Some were more
enjoyable than others which had a lot to do with the instructor. I have
to say that I have kept all the recipes from my classes and use some of
them quite often.

I think the classes are a little pricey, but again, very informative and
usually lots of fun. Plus you get a discount at the store after the
class or the day of or something similar.
