Proposition 8 still hangs in the balance. Perhaps a more intriguing question: what happens if it passes? Or if it fails? I don’t expect this to end any time soon, and this shows the real allure that a US Constitutional amendment had for some people a few years back. On the flip side, a lot […]

Now, I love monkfish. If you've never tried it, think delicate, and very much like lobster. Personally, I prefer it to lobster. After seeing Susan's adaptation of this La Varenne preparation, I know how I'll be cooking it next time I pick some up.
