halleyscomet checked his email via cell phone on the drive back from Baitcon. We were at the Ludlow rest plaza and he had to read one of the emails aloud to me because he knew that it would make me happy. The email was from a friend who's husband is in the military. After a long deployment, he's recently come off rotation and was allowed to go visit family in Turkey on his way home from active duty. halleyscomet mentioned in passing that it would really make my day if her husband brought back some Salep.Yes, that's right, there's now 100 grams of Salep waiting for me somewhere in Florida. Traditional recipes say that I should only need 2 grams per recipe.
I foresee a small comparison taste test party in my future. Hope that some of you will be able to come join me to see how accurate my faux molecular gastronomy version is compared to the real thing......
JB, Kimberly, Sam,
I especially look forward to hearing you laugh your collective heads off when you see this......

Date: 2011-06-28 02:45 am (UTC)The pseudo-salep at Baitcon was FABULOUS. I'd looked for you last night to tell you how much I enjoyed it but didn't see you. Ah well. I can tell you here!
I hope I get to try the real stuff at some point. But if not, I can still feel like I got a good facsimile. (is that that right word?)
