I am a part time nerd, part time chef and full time whiner. Did I type whiner? I meant winner...no wait, I whine a lot. I've worked in High Tech and Television and a few places in between. I've eaten fire roasted snakes and hand fulls of peeps (not in the same sitting of course). I'd like to share my experiences, so read on.

Turn Beer into Chocolate

Here's an interesting find I saw on digg or slash or one of the five million web things i read. It's a fruit that attacks your bitter/sour taste buds and numbs them for a good 30-60 minutes. It has opened up a cool idea for "flavor tripping" parties. Basic rundown, invite a bunch of friends over, layout food you normally wouldn't be too interested in like lemons, grapefruit, super bitter beer or stinky cheese. Chew on the magic fruit for a few minutes and then taste all the unfriendly foods. Beer turns into chocolate, lemons to lemon sorbet, cheese into creamy sweet goo. You get the picture.

Can be purchased as a plant here:
