If you lived around here i'd invite you over for some double chocolate coffee stout, as it stands, perhaps we can hang out sometime at some conference or a museum trip or something, in which case i'll bring some home made stuff

Seriously, i find this to be an excellent experiment, because i an a flavorologist, or a flavorographer, or maybe a flavicist, whatever, i really enjoy playing with flavor to achieve something that someone hasn't tried and that would seem interesting to someone.

With food its complexity through simplicity and putting flavors together that make people scratch their heads and go "you did what and mixed it with what... and that tastes, oh really.. oh this is good"... like a sweet onion and rasin garnish i've created
Besides making beer is the closest i get to doing actual chemistry, that elusive subject that i cant quite grasp
