It appears that I failed to get tickets to the Savour Food & Wine show before it sold out.
Consequently, it appears I will not be getting to taste:
Slow roasted pork ribs with mango salsa, Buttermilk stilton biscuit with roasted duck and mini doughnuts with warm mocha chocolate
Shaved Smoked BBQ Brisket on Rosemary Crouton with Grainy [...]
A couple of weeks back when Trish had her birthday, Sarah and I spent an afternoon making her a birthday cake. From scratch. That’s right–no mixes for us. If you’ve ever baked with a 3-year old, you will know that this can be terribly fun, if a bit messy.
The cake that we made was pretty [...]
I love garlic. A lot. Like, an unsociable amount. Hell, I stole one of Brust’s laws of cooking: “If it doesn’t have garlic, it better be dessert!”
So I love it every time scientists find another way garlic does amazing things to protect your health. I’d eat it anyway, of course. Here’s this week’s example:

I had no connectivity at the hotel last night, have been working full-on all day today, and am shortly going to head out for my (apparently) annual trip to Vlado’s.
Since I start heading back home tomorrow, I’ll also have to pack tonight, so the odds are good that even if the Internet connectivity problem is [...]
As you can probably tell, my access to the Internet has been spotty this week (and will continue so for a few more days).
However, I’ve stolen a minute now to mention that yesterday was the day of Books, Cheese, and Beer. Details to follow when things return to normal, probably along with some commentary on [...]

This place hasn’t been home for well [...]
Why? Why should you be jealous?
Not because I just spent 9PM-midnight on the phone in conference calls with Australia for work. I am jealous of you all because you didn’t have to do that, and don’t have to do it every Thursday.
No, you should be jealous of me because I have just finished these calls, [...]
A Sunday link list, of things that made me think of specific people.
For my lovely wife, to share with her radical feminist associates, is the story of the most famous pirate of all time. Especially the bits about the pirate laws governing female prisoners. And the end of the story.
Also for her yet another story [...]
I’m going to interrupt the sight-seeing with some food porn from down under.
I went out Wednesday with Rick, my new boss, for dinner at Pearl, a restaurant more-or-less across the street from the office. And wow, was that some good eating. Easily in the top five meals I’ve had.
Here’s quotes from a review:
“Awarded three hats [...]
