I just made myself a sandwich with avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, cheddar cheese, red cabbage and beef. Mercifully, it's Australian beef, and therefore not really horse. I'd always imagined I had never eaten horse, but given that I spent much of my life in Ireland and the UK, I suspect that's not really true. |

Given the amount of travel that we must all have done over the years, if the "worst" thing we have unwittingly eaten is horsemeat I'll be amazed. |

I thought their new advertising jingle could go something like: "Ohhhhhh you never know what you're going to find... in a FINDUS..." |

Marinated flank steak strips with a 1/2 of a baked Idaho spud and some steamed asparagus. Too bad it wasn't a PEI spud.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMEszxwyf _M |

A lovely Lebanese lunch at Al Aseel in Surry Hills. We passed a police random breath test on the way home. It was lucky they didn't stop us as our garlic breaths would have done irreparable damage to their equipment (the soft drinks we'd had wouldn't have done any damage). |

Interesting, cogent article from The Observer on the horse meat scandal. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/ 2013/feb/17/horsemeat-scandal-is-tory-pa rty-crisis |

Father Mac's pudding (a New South Wales fruit cake delicacy) with vanilla ice cream on top. |

Just got back from a week in small-town Mexico where my dad and I stayed with his friend/gardner and his wife. I'm talking SMALL town, like 600 people. Our friend's wife is a stupendous cook - she mainly cooks outside on a concrete slab with a wood fire (although she has a proper, indoor kitchen, too. Homemade tamales, pozole, fresh, off-the-bush garbanzo bean roasted over a fire, barbacoa we made from two young sheep we killed and prepared in the backyard, a dish made from the blood of said sheep - I'm telling you, it's a culinary experience like nothing else, and we're not lacking for decent Mexican food here in Chicago. I'll write more about it later but wow, what a week. |

A chicken jalfrezi curry, with lots of chills, I just cooked. Boy it's spicy. |
