I am trying to distract you from that no-doubt far-too revelatory last post, so... that Nick Cetacean dood sure is teh funny!
A new entry from the upcoming second volume of Stephanie Alexander’s famous Cook’s Companion: W is for whale.
"My first taste of whale came as a girl on the coast at Eden in 1960. My mother had dragged a still-thrashing southern right whale calf from the beach and artfully flayed it with a nine-foot blade. I still recall the dark, slightly oily meat which my mother had lightly sautéed. Magic!"
As they say in the classics, it's Gold.
He is very, very, funny. He's been "resting" for about a year so it's great to see him back and in such excellent form.

That's great. There should be a Bulwer-Lytton contest for improbably twee childhood recollection as intro for food story.

Thanks for this.
I hate doing this but.... might you add a permanent link from your blogroll?
God, I feel so needy...

Duly blogrolled Mr. Cetacean. No comment on your neediness, but I WILL be checking to see if you've blogrolled me.

I actually blog-rolled you as soon as I saw that post.
Because I love me and I love people that love me too. I'm funny that way.
