If you could take a master class on any subject, what would it be? What would you teach as a master class? Have you ever done one of them?
 
Teaching youth about the stupidity of being Hok fans.

I'd like to take a master class on WW II. I'd teach a master class on how ******* awesome 80s hair metal is. Never done one.

Not to derail the thread.... but do all of you eat to live? Or live to eat?

I'd say a mix. I eat pretty well (and have found delicious macro-friendly meals) most of the time but allow myself an indulgence every now and then. I don't believe in cheat meals or cheat days, because I'm not cheating anything. Food should be enjoyed.
 
I'd love to be a better cook/chef. I can follow a recipe, but I sometimes wish I was better at just making things up.
That's where I am. I'm good at following recipes and over the years have modified a lot of our favorites to the extent that I'd like to call them mine. But if someone just handed me a basket of ingredients and said create something original and amazing, nope. I'd end up making something that would probably taste pretty good but all in all would be very ordinary. Learning techniques and flavor profiles and what goes together and what doesn't go together and how to elevate ingredients would be pretty great. Like, I know one ingredient Flay has said he uses in almost everything to some extent is anchovies/anchovy paste. I'd love to know the "why" behind stuff like that.

Music Production. Logistics. I really hate(d) school

I was drawing a blank for master class I'd want to seek, music production/sound engineering would be a good one. I've dabbled in that area through the years, but never formally.

I could do The Beatles as teacher, can co-teach w/ @matclone and @MeanDean. I want dibs on the "middle period" (late-'65 to early-'67) :):cool:

From a practical sense, I would want to take master class for things outside my wheelhouse — mechanical/construction/home maintenance et al. Wouldn't be as "fun," but probably more useful.
