This is a public service announcement, um, announcing, that the Weblog Awards have opened nominations. Hmm, I wonder who could qualify for “Best Asian Weblog.”

This is one of those few areas where I’m political about food. Yes, I make fun of vegetarians a lot, but I respect them a lot more than meat eaters who want to pretend that their meat doesn’t come from a live animal. I myself have helped slaughter turkeys and have helped break down a pig. I thought the experiences would...
