I had an intensive day of classes. I left my hotel room at 6:55 am and returned around 7:55 pm. It may be an intensive schedule but I am learning a lot and having fun. In one session today we learned about smell and taste from the from the good people at McCormick. We got to do a lot of taste testing to learn about things that are sweet, sour, bitter, salty, or umami. Yes, I learned about "umami" a fifth type of taste. We also learned about vanilla and cinnamon. It was interesting finding out about where it comes from and how it is processed. Tomorrow I go on a field trip to a popular potato chip company and to a vineyard to do some wine tasting. I hope we gets lots of samples!
