This Wednesday we are doing a presentation at the Farmington Public Library (Click here for details). Since our first episode of the fall season features corn- we thought it would be fun to give out pop-corn and spice mixes to the people who come see us… this evening, after filming, we laid out all of our spices on the countertop along with little bowls. Then we started mixing! We came up with some fun combinations (and some that were more fun in theory)… the most exciting was dark chocolate powder and anise. It was salty and sweet and deeply delicious. Though, I will admit that it is a bit unusual– I guess time will tell if anyone else gets as excited about this combination as we did.

Ooh! And on an unrelated note… a fun article from BBC News courtesy of Mr. Tom Peter… it takes me back to 7th grade and the bitter vegetarianism debates that would divide the classroom.
