Ok, not a hack but a blog. You should check out the awesomely named www.kitchenfuckery.com . Beware of strong language! and delicious food, just sayin'

On another note (while I do enjoy reading people's commentary on funerals and tweeny mags)... I am so stoked at how well Marty Welch is doing!

Not to name drop (which of course leads to doing it anyway) ... Once upon a time I used to work with Marty in an Irish pub on Ponsonby Road (an Irish pub which is now a foodhall). It was ten or so years ago, but I clearly remember him being just a lovely and very interesting bloke - and certainly really handy to have behind the sports bar on a quiet night when there was no other security.

His work looks great, and I couldn't be happier for him.

(BTW Please excuse the overuse of parentheses. I talk in a series of asides too.)
