Back!

Where to start...well, been away at the Big Chill down in the south, and then spent ages working on the pie-man.com website, and then it's just rained. Solidly for about a week, it feels like. So no news from the world of food for a while folks. Apologies. To make up for it, a random selection of links

• People in Denmark are worried about Kellogg's fortified cereals
• Why women don't eat like men
• The nice people at Innocent have 4,999 rain capes spare
• A Taste of Persia find the Explodingchef review - slightly surreal

Ooh, and the chillies arrived from the Spice of Life in Aberdeen. The chipotles are fab - huge and fat and black. And I've got a tantalising envelope of sumac, just waiting for me to do something middle eastern with. Possibly in conjunction with the preserved lemons, which have been sitting on the kitchen worktop preserving away for just over a month now.
