Jun. 15th, 2008 03:51 pmAhh... fame at last. Well, not really.
The director of the cookery school I took a course at in February stumbled across my review of the course and I now find myself adorning the front page of their website. (Thank goodness I put up a half-decent picture of myself!)
In other foodie news, my first foray into curing meat seems to have worked. I am now the proud owner/mama of about a kilo of pancetta. Next stop... smoked bacon if I can find some maple or hickory chips.
What else? Oh, I somehow landed a job of sorts. I am now an editor for a British comics company. Alas, unpaid at present, but it's something for the CV and it's just nice to stretch my brain again.
Lucas is growing like a weed just now. His vocabulary is also expanding rapidly, which is pretty cool. We're starting to get sentences, although they do mainly revolve around cars, buses, lorries, vans or bikes. He likes nothing better than a drive down the motorway!

Lucas at the beach last weekend.

Make very sure to keep as much of the fat as possible when removing the skin. Mine doesn't look half as nice as Mike's does because I rushed the skinning.
