No, no genetic manipulation, just leftovers from two parties bumping into each other. One meal/event isn't sufficient (you Thanksgiving Sandwich fans, please sit this one out unless you've got something novel)
F'rinstance:
Wasabi Cream from
Johnny Garlic's Ahi Won-Tacos made on Saturday for our holiday party for friends was used the following night on latkes at the Hannukah party for family.
Today, lunch consisted of a smoked turkey sandwich (from the Sunday party) with aioli created for RAB/REB's BLT crostini (from the Saturday party), feta cheese (from arepas from Saturday) and mango-jicama salsa (Won-Tacos from Saturday again).
What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
