Stop sniggering at the back. As the above video proves, being able to crack an egg single-handed is cool. It must be, because Michael Caine does it, and Michael Caine is cool. Ipso. Facto.
Russell posted the video today because he’s just got his hands on Len Deighton’s Action Cook Book, which rules. Go check out who’s really the one-handed genius in that film.

We begin with this: there are too many wine reviews. The world needs more people reviewing wine like that poor fish needs more bicycles.
AND SO: we do not review wine. We do not taste wine even. We drink wine and when we do, these are the conversations, thoughts, and adventures we have.
May I heartily recommend Stained Teeth, Matthew Latkiewicz’s wine columns for McSweeney’s magazine, and following on from there, his blog at mystainedteeth.com - wine writing as it should be.
I’d be lying if I said I’d actually been waiting until Shrove Tuesday to have another crack at these delicious pancakes, but if you’ve got to give up all those lovely things for 40 days and 40 nights, well… Yummy.
