Good afternoon, my darlings.

Just a short post to let you know that I have written a thing about salad, and how much I used to want to punch it in the neck. It is up over at the lovely Food Riot, which I hope to be writing more for in the future.

Since we’re here, and you’re comfortable and therefore vulnerable to all attacks of shameless self-promotion, you should also check out the piece I wrote about Yoko Ogawa’s Revenge for the May edition of Open Letters Monthly.

Now, back to the Margaret Oliphant and the cats and the hummus and chips–that’s right, it’s raining like hell over here.

Update: I have written another thing for Food Riot, this one about a knife skills class I took. It’s more sinister and absurd than you’d think.

Also, I’ll be posting at Food Riot weekly from now on, so be sure to check it out!
