Cooking from Fish at Barbara Jo's
On Monday night I spent a fantastic few hours watching Quang Dang, the executive chef at C Restaurant, cooking fish at Barbara Jo's Books for Cooks. The event was themed around the book Fish, which I have in my possession and can gladly recommend.
I also recommend the photos of cooking from Fish.
Special thanks to the Rabbit for this Christmas gift. Too bad she's alergic to fishes. Otherwise I'd whip her up something delicious.

A wishbone broken into three
Is there a name for a wishbone broken into three?
Monique and I each held an end last night to break it and it splintered almost perfectly evenly. Neither of us getting more than the other. Neither of us getting the knuckle of the wish.
Recommended: see the full effect of the wishbone photo at large size.

Breaking news: failure now an option
Sometimes when I read The Onion I laugh so hard that tears arrive in my eyes, unbeckoned.
And this article — Failure now an option — makes my greatest hits list. They hit every note pitch perfectly.
I'm going to read it again now.
