Lessons Learned and Observations

No matter how much you love your foie gras, crab, lox, or caviar, you’ll never find a way to work it in to Eating in 3D unless you liquify these delicacies and spray a thin mist on the rest of your food items. I foolishly bought some wild smoked salmon knowing how much Celia likes bagels and lox for breakfast. It never occurred to me that two ounces of lox will set you back $2.50 – one-quarter of your total daily budget. Save the specialty items for special occasions or buy a spray bottle.
