I think t=at if we make Jen the focus, we can have a fairly high level class with you=as support. Otherwise, we can try to organize a more "starter—=Bll course for both of you. One question, are you comfortable working w=th raw fish?

cuisine. But we do love Japanese food a lot! at least the American versi=n of it.

Otherwise, we are o=en to any other recommendations you might have and very much looking forwar= to this trip!
