Well some of you may have noticed a little drop in posts this last week, and for that I’m sorry.  What was expected to be a quiet and relaxing vacation visiting the folks for the first time in many years ended up turning into a bit of a shit show.  Oh don’t worry, I cooked.  I cooked my heart out and was never short of people to feed, but the writing just never got done thanks in part to comments at 4:00 pm like my Dad saying, “Did you want to try some of the ‘87 Napa Valley Cab we opened last night?  We saved you a few glasses.”  Or my mother offering to take me to the local resturant supply warehouse to pick up a few new toys.  Or an old friend that I haven’t seen in years, is unemployed and calling to see if I want booze, pre-happy hour.   It was a great trip but glad to be back home and settling back into my routine of work, blog, eat, drink.

I did however get a little work done. Made friends with the gang over at Endless Simmer, and they were even nice enough to put one of my posts on baby octopus on their site.  It’s a solid crew of food aficionados and I’m really looking forward to trading recipes, talking shit about Food Network and geeking out about weird ingredients with them. No doubt plenty of delicious food to come.

Also, Nuts and Bolts is continuing to grow with some updated walkthoughs and techniques so check it out.

Finally, I found this little article a little while back.  It’s as amusing as it is troubling, but when Judgment Day – Terminator style, finally does arrive, just remember that we taste like one of the best substances on Earth to robots… so there’s that.  Pleasant dreams.
