Antimatter and BBQ

Our favorite show is Star Trek, whether the original series, next generation, or the movies (sorry, most of the series expansions we could skip).  And pervasive in Star Trek is the mixture of matter and antimatter that, when mixed in the correct proportions, gave the boundless energy the Enterprise used for power, warp speed, and so forth (lets skip the dilithium crystal details for the blog).  Even in today's real life it is believed that the combination of matter and antimatter would result in an explosive release of energy plus various basic universal particles.
But this leads to an interesting question.... is the opposite of matter antimatter?  Let's look an another possibility.  Doesnotmatter.  And look at the similarities:
Ever been to a meeting where the presenter is hammering home bullet after bullet of their presentation while most of the room ignores them in favor of their laptops, blackberry, iphones, and tablets? Can you feel the frustration level rise as the presenter has to repeat things or those not paying attention seem not to understand?  Or how about any one of the current events of global climate change and politics.  Watch someone passionately argue their position while the other, to whom it doesnotmatter, disagrees, debates, and plays devils advocate. The combination of matter and doesnotmatter creates an explosion just as matter and antimatter.

All musings aside, this combination of opposites is just as applicable to food.  Consider the explosive flavor of sweet and sour sauce, hot and sour soup, and the sweet spiciness of BBQ sauce.  Cole slaw is great example of opposites working together.  Successful execution of (most types) cole slaw uses the sharpness of vinegar or citrus to cut through the creaminess of the oil.


SkippyP's Catering employs this success principle on many of our favorite dishes.  From the lemon vinaigrette dressing for our curried chicken salad and the sweet heat of our BBQ sauces, to the amazingly sharp and creamy cole slaw we mentioned, let us demonstrate explosive flavor when we combine culinary opposites for your life events.  For out of this world flavor and a universal appeal.... Engage ;-)
