Happy Birthday Pussywillow!

Rude to refuse!

Like this a lot. Hear bits of Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Andrew Bird, all good!

^^^ This!

Boo!

We haven't had the cupcakes yet.

Isle Flottante with Caramel and Dark Chocolate Pecan Cookie. How can you turn this down when your daughter makes it for you? Even though you know you should.

Topping station. Little too much peripheral char. Am ded gluten kil RIP.

That was from the sous vide tomahawk ribeye. (Sorry Greg.) Luckily I have some leftovers to tide me over for tonight's dinner, which we let the kids cater. Carbpocalypse. But they did make it all from scratch themselves -- dough, sauce, custard, frosting etc. -- which is character building I think.

I say a lodda tings. Turned out OK.

Family steak night. Guess which one is for me?

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would suspect that Real loaned Kova to Chelsea so that he and Hazard can get used to playing together before both move to Madrid for the 2019 season.

There cannot be many people who have Gino Vanelli on vinyl. Respect. You are powerful.

Plus The Lost Boys, which informs it all.

Ring of Fire tomorrow.

Happy Birthday stranger!

Probably speakers too?

Alright, back to the regular season. Pretty happy with Chelsea's start in the Premier League -- today against Arsenal was the proverbial game of two halves with some scintillating attacking and shocking defending to mull on. We looked a different side with Hazard (obviously) and Kovacic on the field. I think the latter will be a very good pickup from Real Madrid, gracias Antonio. All three of our goals today scored by Spaniards and two of them also assisted by Spaniards, so gracias again. Sarri will do well at Chelsea I think if he stays alive the whole season, what with smoking 80 a day and actually eating cigarettes during the games where he's not allowed to light up.

Clearly your cartridge is now too good for both arm and table.

"When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City, kiddie say papa papa papa papa papa-san -- take me home!"

Roaring straight over the top. Of the new stuff, I like this one better.

New Metric.
