Cool and Not so Cool

Learning new things is cool. For example, I never new that the sense of tastes found in your tongue is sort of like a artists palete. The tongue tastes seasonings, the nose, flavors. Different areas of your tongue taste sweet, salty, sour and bitter. That new tastes include Umami, an oriental word that sort of means earthy and even newer tastes including astrigent and metallic. All tastes that we have to develop as cooks.

No so cool. Pictures of a place in Orange county inspected by the health department. OH MY GOD! You know those signs posted on entrances of eateries by the health department (A, B, C), pay attention them. Or eat at your own peril.
