Boy does the time fly when you get older. My camera died so I was without for a while and now Miguel saved me and gave me Javier's old one. Love the start-up sound Javier! Anyways - I'm still cooking - a little bit of everything. Here some recent successes...

My Uncle Dick taught me everything you need to now to build a good sandwhich.

I've been on a Ossobuco craze recently - I think I've made it 6 times in the last 3 months....this version is Milanese. Veal shanks that melt in your mouth. If you dare the marrow is delicious.

I bought some of the small squid at the market. We floured the tentacles and deepfried them - if you like that sort of thing this was an OMG. I felt like I was in Greece. William made his famous squid in tomato sauce and parcely with the bodies - no foto but trust me it was fab.
