1. I have finally discovered the level of food blogging I am capable of these days: a one- or two-sentence description of what we do for dinner each night. Idea shamelessly stolen from the far more inspirational Redfox, who also blogs, you know, properly. Anyway, our dinner reports are being logged on the page linked in the sidebar labelled Eating notes.

2. I sliced off the tip of my index finger last night, cutting fennel on the mandoline in a hurry and not using the finger guard.  It HURTS.  Use the finger guard, dudes, it is there for a reason.  Thank heavens Miffy, trained medical professional, was in the house and willing to go beyond normal guest duties and dress it for me. Thanks Miff.
