Another post that was going to be in the podcast. Side story, only tangentially related to the above posting, is that I was at the Maker Faire a couple of weeks ago. Scharffen Berger had a booth there, and a young lad with some garlic fries had come by to sample. The booth attendant warned the child not to mix the garlic with the chocolate, because it probably wouldn't taste good together.
I knew, from having kept up with the They Go Really Well Together from the abovementioned khymos.org that, if you add some coffee in with the chocolate and garlic, it actually will work. The Booth attendant seemed interested if unconvinced that it would work as well as I claimed.

Also: Rice Krispie treats are amazingly good. I had a few that week, as they were generally available at the conference I attended. I mean, I always knew they were good, but I don't know if I fully appreciated them. Much better than they have a right to be. Probably significantly better than pudding with Rice Krispies in them. I mean, really, who would think of such a thing?

I think I need to start trying out the deconstruction/reconstruction aspects of cooking. I haven't attempted that before.

I look forward to hearing about your experiments. Hopefully it will be fun and rewarding.

This is a wonderful and inspirational post. I am totally going to try something new the next time I come home with strawberries.
