BY ALL means, this is not turning into a food blog. However I have to thank my friend J.J. for a cooking-class treat on the other side of town.
Communal cooking — knife skills and all — even under the big, hot summer sun was a nice little break from a lot of up-close detail writing work. Thanks to Kyrsten and the Hipcooks crew.

Great set of B&W.
