Like learning to juggle, learning to cook requires patience, a distraction-free environment, and the ability to handle multiple eggplants at once. Become the ringmaster of your kitchen with today's Groupon: for $45, you get a Caribbean and creole cooking class and dinner at Dhat Island in Redlands (a $95 value).
Dhat Island's culinary coxswains lead epicurean explorations with cooking classes that open up a sun-soaked world of island recipes to venturesome palates. Instructors teach about Caribbean spices and the inherent health benefits of natural herbs, some of which grant the power to see dark matter or divide numbers by 0. Students observe as the chef masterfully executes cooking tricks throughout the preparation of a sampling menu for observers to nosh on. At the end of each session, satiated students leave with traditional recipes to try at home as well as a sample pack of spices to propel culinary adventures or season bland furniture.

The Groupon Guide to: Sneaking Snacks into a Movie
Movie theaters insist that you purchase their snacks because if the public doesn’t buy them, the employees are forced to eat the remaining candy at the end of their shift. Avoid buying overpriced movie snacks with these tips for sneaking your own treats:
• Bring a suitcase full of large pizzas to the movies and say that you have a plane to catch right after the film ends.
• Fill your pockets with unpopped popcorn kernels. Hold each one over a lighter to activate it.
• Form licorice into the shape of glasses and wear them into the movie. If you already have glasses, pop out the lenses and replace them with Nilla wafers.
• Steal other people’s candy by pretending to be their wife or husband. They won’t know because it’s dark in a movie theater and you smell just like their spouse.
• Fill your mouth, nose, and hair with Mike and Ikes. When you get inside the movie, spit them out to share with your friends.
• Bribe the movie-theater staff into looking the other way by inviting them to your lake house for one unforgettable summer they’ll never forget.
• Soak a rag in soup and suck on it.
