Want a gelatinous Mojito, with a Seafood cotton candy concoction as a chaser?

Anderson Cooper did. 

Did you see him interview celebrity Chef Jose Andres on 60 Minutes? Did you notice that I still don't know how to put an accent over a letter?

And did you, like me, wonder how Anderson Cooper scored that particular assignment? 

Have him interview a chef?  Really, he doesn't exude a "feed me, feed me, I love food," kinda persona. Where was Morley Safer?…I could envision him sipping, slurping and swallowing with gusto. I imagine that Morley's comments would have being pithy and provocative. In all fairness, Anderson did manage a couple of mmm's, yummy and a few giggles. Giggles, no doubt a result of the various and assorted liquor laced cocktails he was offered, and apparently, quickly imbibed.

Chef Andres has a unique perspective on food preparation. He was, in describing his philosophy on what and how we should eat, beyond passionate, enthusiastic and compelling. The descriptor, I think, of what he does is called deconstructing and molecular gastronomy.

I am reasonably certain I will never use those two words in a sentence again.

It's a Gin and Tonic. My two favorite food groups.
