Tomatilla!

I got caught out daydreaming – what with the Memorial Day holiday here in the US and so on. Paper Chef Number 7 will start THIS Friday June 3rd at Noon PST and will end at Noon PST on Monday June 6th (or thereabouts).

Just as it becomes time to reopen the doors to the Paper Chef, I have a moment to get back to normal here and write a little tiny bit about cooking and what we have been doing in that regard. I am not the chef of the hour, however. I have mentioned before how both [...]

Another sighting has been made out there in the blogosphere (oh how I hate that word but it has become common currency).
