  • Lamb Roast No. 3: It's all about the butchery After a certain point, everything I write starts to sound the same: we cooked a big meal, it was delicious, and we all love each other soooo much. Well, it's true. But boring.
  • Pics, faster than I ever thought possible Peter is all grown up and has his own blog, and is piling up lamb roast pics over there even as we speak. I like this division of labor.
  • Peter replies Because he had more to say than would fit in the comments box...
  • Poaching, and some advice And I don't mean eggs. (Which reminds me--how could I have been talking about freebasing eggs, and not make a "this is your brain on drugs" joke? What a waste.)
  • Vida Comida Tal gets lucky--I sit for an hour cruising through random blogs, and all I get is giggly Singaporean teenagers and someone pretentiously obsessed with The New Yorker.

  • What am I eating? I've been working at this exceptionally trashy job that calls for long hours in a windowless room. I come in around 930 and stagger out around 730 or 800. Food is brought to us once, sometimes twice a day.
