I had a very odd tasting last week. It was the day before Christmas Eve, and a vegan couple from Arizona were in for the holidays and wanted to come in for a tasting. Naturally I made it work. They did not tell me that the mum was an editor of some Fancy Schmancy food mag. They made some jokes at my expense while I was trying to extract what exactly was going on. But that’s OK, I can take it. I’m 99% sure I will NOT be awarded the job. However, the Fancy Schmancy food editor loved the vegetable tian and vowed to make it for her holiday party. (Glad to be of service, of course.)
