Had to get out after a couple of days chained to my desk so went for a 5km walk to bag this rabbit. Very much enjoyed a cold drink at the bar just down the road.

And then there's this, claiming I spent more time on archive.org than Safari. By a lot. And I know I didn't. Maybe the computer was up to something ...

Nice to be back at home after extended absences, but so much catching up to do. That's why I haven't promoted the latest Eat This Newsletter until now, but here it is for your entertainment.

If you’re puzzled by recent claims about “authentic” Parmigiano-Reggiano you might want to listen to Zachary Nowak explain how the rules effectively trapped the cheese in aspic.

Composite image; on the left a map of the Rabbit and my location, on the right a view across a slate-tiled roof to a white chimney with three chimney pots. More slate roofs in the middle distance and a patch of blue sea in the distance. The sky is blue and there is part of a bushy tree on the left.
