Yeah, I know things look funky

February 12, 2008

I’m trying to iron out some of the formatting and other issues that are still plaguing the site, and unfortunately, this little guy doesn’t give me the time to just get it all done in one shot.  If I’m lucky I have an hour here or there, but it’s generally more like a half hour [...]

A weekend of success

September 9, 2007

Friday night, Cliff and Sarah joined us for Thai dinner. I ended up not having the time to make anything but the Panang Beef beforehand, so they (and Rainer) were enlisted as my sous chefs when they arrived, and let me tell you, it’s nice to have sous chefs!
