Friday, for 2 hours, I got to be an honorary Huff girl. I was granted temporary membership into this very exclusive club. Here is their very nice, harmless appearing, board of directors.
We met for an interview over lunch. They needed to observe me out in public where I don't get to hide behind the camera and my computer screen. Where I have to keep up my part of the conversation and don't get to edit what everyone says like I do on the blog. I may or may not get to join them again. It all hinges on whether or not I chose the correct item for dessert at Andre's.
I am fairly confident the right thing was to get something they didn't choose so they could have a bite of mine if they wanted. I am also pretty sure it was ok for me to reach across the table and grab a bite of theirs before they tasted it to be sure it wasn't poisoned.
That's what you would have done, right?
The desserts look amazing, but I'm in love with those umbrellies!!

Absolutely okay to taste test (for their own good of course!)

That's exactly what I would have done!

I believe reaching across and tasting should be a 'club requirement'. All the best people do it. imho

Ha! I just ate at Andrés on Saturday in between stops on the Master Gardeners tour. I also took pix of those delightful parasols. :)

Well what a surprise to see "Mama Huff" on your blog. (although I call her Marti). Marti and I have been neighbors at the antique mall for years.
I think it would be hard to make a wrong dessert choice, but if being an honorary Huff girl hinged on it, I'd want to make the right choice, too.

Love those parasols hanging from the ceiling!!! I won't even mention the desserts.

I am crazy about those parasols on the ceiling too. Oh the desserts look and sound divine as well.
