Party full of yum

Last week some friends came over for a tasting party, in which we had three or more versions of peanut butter, pinot noir, chocolate, belgian beer, sprouts, olive oil, honey, whisky, etc. Take home lessons: MSG makes everything an order of magnitude better. Even pesto. Not that I'd ever cook with the stuff, but man, that umami is yummy. Raw honey is sweeter than processed honey. Also, I broke my 13-year vegetarian-ness by tasting a piece of bacon-infused chocolate. It tasted like bacon. Now I'm back on the wagon, and enjoying a fridge full of blue cheese, chocolate, and mole. Anna and I both posted pictures on Flickr (her photos, my photos).
