She Who Must Be Obeyed informed me that I have not been referring to our son correctly in these posts. I have been using “He Who Must Not Be Ignored,” when, in fact, the more accurate description is “He Who … Continue reading

Desserts, Demystified
Dave Kellett, author/artist of the Sheldon web comic, provided this helpful graph on Sunday: You can view it full-sized here. And, for the record, I couldn’t agree more with his exhaustively researched conclusions.
Best Pig Ever
While describing the suckling pig I saw (but did not eat) at St. John restaurant in London, I alluded to having already eaten the Best Pig Ever. That happy event began, as did many of my recent food epiphanies, with … Continue reading
