There's an email going around the Hill inviting people to a beef tasting. Tastings actually. They're free, they're open to the public and all you have to do is "rate the meat on juiciness, flavor, and overall likeability."

We did the same with boyfriends. Details after the jump.

Okay, it's recess, you're bored, you're hungry...and Texas Tech needs YOU to try out a few pieces of Meat this week. not kidding. See below and the enclosed forms for more information. I promised the contact I would forward the information as they still need 100 more people (to total 800) to participate. This forum does not involve your profession, but for proximity's sake, I thought I'd send around the hill. It is open to the public - feel free to spread the word to your offices and fellow carnivores.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask Deidrea Harris at the email and/or number below.

Texas Tech University is conducting a consumer study in the D.C. area. Kelly Adams spoke with Linda earlier and mentioned that you might be able to help find some people. 

We are looking for people to fill the spots for the following dates and times. If you or any friends are available they would really appreciate their help!! Participants are asked to eat 7 bite size samples and rate the meat on juiciness, flavor, and overall likeability.

Dates and times that they are looking for people include 20 people at each time some are filling fast  at this point:
Monday 15 - 5:00, 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday 16 - 5:00 p.m.
Thursday 18 - 5:00, 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.
Friday 19 - 5:00, 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.

The location is the Ford House Office Bldg's cafeteria  2nd and D street SW. The closest metro
stop is Federal Center SW (the bldg. is across the street to the right).
There is also free 'meter' parking in the area as well.  

If you think anyone may be interested we would love to have them. I'm attaching a couple of forms, one needs to be filled out and emailed back to me for those interested. And the other one is an informative sheet about the project.
