Raw fish, like snowballs, must be rolled with care before being thrown at a school superintendent for refusing to call a snow day. Enjoy well-crafted, conveniently projectile edibles with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a sushi-making class, three-course dinner, and sake at Kitchen 305 in North Miami Beach (a $75 value). Classes are held at 6:30 p.m. each Monday.

Master chef Chris Wong whips up elegantly plated sushi rolls and passes on his experience and rolling wisdom to neophyte sushi-makers. Under his tutelage, sushi students learn to wield rolling mats, deft fingers, and a carrot tied to a stick to entrap morsels of fresh fish and veggies in neat cylinders of rice and nori. Pupils then relish in a three-course dinner consisting of savory soup, a sushi entree, and dessert, complemented by sips of sake in Kitchen 305's contemporary dining room, which is accented with cerulean lighting and minute azure tiles flanking the walls. Post-meal, students carry their newfound skills home to create their own sushi bars, further practicing by rolling the family dog in layers of blankets and bedsheets.
