Yesterday our senior pup Willis turned 7. Bday treat? Roulade w/layers of pastry, shrimp mousse, and ground bison, larded w/young Manchego. Slices served over (commmercial) demiglacé and frosted with grated Parmesan.
In advance of the big freeze, our neighbors with the lemon tree stripped off most of the fruit and passed a bunch of it around. Here's my tarte au citron with a little of last week's Mexican crema.

An audio essay from @kensycoop.bsky.social about names in the natural world.
The search for "name-like" symbols in animals is intensifying. But if the enterprise is to succeed, we first need to pause and ask ourselves: What even is a name?

Tonight’s cappellacci are filled with ricotta (and a little parm and nutmeg) and tossed with caramelized radicchio, walnuts, and blue cheese. Served with raw radicchio salad dressed with anchovies, garlic, and capers.

AUSTIN, TX: Austin Animal Services urgently needs dog fosters and adopters who don't have another dog in the home because they have a highly contagious dog flu on campus and can't exercise the dogs appropriately. Sick dogs will heal faster in homes & unaffected will be safer. Please help if you can!

Finished the last pre-Thanksgiving class at noon yesterday, so I had time for a little fusion experiment. Cappelloni filled with a Georgian-style walnut/mushroom pate and tossed in a yogurt (homemade) and dill (homegrown) sauce. Extremely good.

We've lived and worked with dogs for 15,000+ years, sculpting their brains and bodies along the way. What can we learn from their singular story?

Michelin 2025. These are the ones I've walked to from our house. Apparently we live in a bargain neighborhood. (I still think Fabrik would have a star if they weren't slightlly over-correcting in favor of more "local" cusines.)
