Thanks to a friend I discovered this cute site about a little boy's encounters with celebrities - he sure has some influential and famous friends!

Food Tasting

Today after work I attended a food tasting at a market survey institute. I signed up ages ago after a friend of mine told me about it but haven't been able to actually taste anything until now. I thought I'd find myself among hords of students trying to make that extra buck (yes, it is paid) but it was actually a mix of ages. Tonight's menu consisted of caramel and chocolate toppings and sour cream. Not at the same time though. I was actually a bit disappointed that the point of the study wasn't to come up with new recipes with as few ingredients as possible, but to say the least, I enjoyed it. Between tasting you were encouraged to sip some water or nibble on some crackers, just like wine tasting at Oxford. It was not the kind of social gathering I had hoped for though (there goes my thinking that this could be a way to meet guys) as you're seated in a little booth by yourself with just the tasting items and a computer as company. Depending on how quickly you "eat" and answer questions about taste, texture, etc. you're free to leave whenever you want to. On my way out I saw the remnants of a wine tasting so expect to hear more about future tastings!

Okay, my first action of the re-launch of Anna, Fair and True, is giving credits to the two bloggers who inspired me to explore blogdom myself. See links on the right.

Okay, I have promised to update my blog, or rather get what never got going actually going, so stay tuned...
