MaƮtreChef 2010

Hello.

Welcome back to the daringly unredesigned Omission Statement. This blog lurches revenant-like from its digital grave to herald my 30th birthday, which would be utterly narcissistic, were it not for the protean brilliance of Mary's birthday present to me: a month-long Masterchef-themed gift centred around visits to both the Ritz-Escoffier and Cordon-Bleu culinary schools, here in Paris. I've been promised an invention test (this Saturday!), an ingredients-identification round (in French), an interview in which I have to justify my culinary zeal, and a final 3-course meal (which we have postponed until after our return to Switzerland and a normal-sized kitchen).

Before Saturday, a special Comic-Sans horrorpost!

Music!

Enchanted by the wonder that is emusic, I am on a bit of a music bender. We'll be at the Bad Bonn at the end of this month to see Cat Power, and then in July we will see both the Magnetic Fields and Bellowhead. I'm jealous of our friends in the US, though, because lots of my new discoveries float around the eastern seaboard without so much as a thought for mainland Europe.

The album you shoudl definitely listen to, NOW, is "For Emma, Forever Ago" By Bon Iver. Fortunately, you can do that online here.

Otherwise, here's St Vincent
