Last night featured awesome CULINARY SCIENCE from marnameow & dogrando, in the form of a 12-course molecular gastronomy style dinner. Both food & company were excellent. I should do a proper writeup, but I am tired, so instead I will just mention the undoubted technical highlight: inside-out potato salad, which consisted of cubes of olive oil and chives (a potato-ish texture obtained by use of gellan), with potato foam, and a chive garnish. The blue cheese icecream was also pretty nifty.

She is really friendly, I'm sure she'd LOVE to tell you about them if you commented on her journal and expressed interest. (I thought you might have vaguely met her in person at a party in 2006, but I wasn't sure.)

Also! I have just made a post about seed-swapping, thought you & M. might be interested.
