Which is why I jumped at the chance to enroll in Executive Chef Michael Miller's cooking class for graduating seniors, "Cooking for the Culinarily Challenged." Taught in five two-hour sessions scattered over two weeks, the class starts with the utter basics-meet the appliances in your kitchen-and ends with an afternoon cooking with a guest chef...
...Miller is an excellent teacher; he explains kitchen basics in just the right amount of detail without making us feel that we're being talked down to. (The only slow lesson was the second one, on going shopping, which was at times reminiscent of an elementary school nutrition class.)

The agendas reflected in the argument were theirs, of course, rather than DiMaggio's; Pataki wants the Bronx Bombers to stay where they are, and Giuliani...
