no poor people!

I think taxidermy is pretty passe these days along with all of that neo victoriana hoo haa. It is just so tedious and odious, and just one more thing you have to dust. But I do like the sign on this door of a taxidermy shop in the 'hood.

Return From the Homeland! (And what I forgot to buy in the homeland)

While you were doing other things in 7th grade, I was perfecting my caramel recipe. But I left my candy thermometer at home.


Cornmeal treated with lime. The paucity of mexican food in the this country has turned us into a family of tortilla makers. However, we forgot to bring the bag of masa we bought in nj. However, I may have found a latin american grocery store on route to one of my manufacturers.


Aveeno. Here in England, everything is nice and cold. So you need a heavy duty moisturizer. Alas duane reade in princeton was all sold out of this stuff, so I bought the regular strength.

Bad, GorBro, Bad.

I took this pic from Vasco's iphone yesterday.

And then we returned to our discussion of which film is scarier: Funny Games (V. 1.0) or Lost Highway.

News Flash: Kittens soon to be turned into throw pillows and placemats!

Good kittens.



Bad kittens.

All soon to be turned into household accessories.

HOLY SMOKES! EGGSTRODINARY

So, dear reader, I didn't eat eggs that were eggy (exception, cheese or lemon souffle, of course) until about 2 years ago. My mother's cholesterol fears hooo haa of the 80s and 90s or perhaps memories of my one dear pet chicken, Squeaky, stuck with me until one day there were some ramps and asparagus at the Union Square farmer's market. I made an omelet with roasted asparagus, ramps and parmesan. I've slowly increased my egg rep so it now includes frittatas, quiche, koo koo, fried eggs and poached eggs. There is room to grow; boiled eggs have not yet convinced me. Anyway, now we get our eggs from Stocks Farm through Growing Communities, both at our veg box pick up and at their Stoke Newington Farmers Market. Once you've had these eggs, you'll be eating eggs round the clock. These eggs are pure goodness; I'm sure that the only cholesterol they have is the good one. Didn't Michael Pollan write something about happy, healthy eggs being ok? Hungover, these eggs fried with some bacon and ketchup are positively medicinal. Anyway, we get about 12 eggs a week from these guys. So, we were making dinner. The mister cracked one egg. Then he cracked another. This second egg was EGGSTRODINARY!! NOT ONE YOLK, NOT TWO YOLKS, BUT THREE YOLKS. Look at the pick below. Count the yolks! Count the shells!
