If you are like me, you have been wondering why Steve has not posted of late. Turns out his computer is not feeling well so I (Richard) have hacked in from the outside to let you all know to stay tuned! While we wait for Steve's return, here is a link describing our friend Joanne Neft's great new cookbook "Placer County Real Food." Joanne spent a year going to Farmer's markets in Placer County one day and using the local food to cook dinner for 8 the next day. The cookbook presents the menus and the recipes along with pictures that at time rival Steve's.

I had no idea that parrots were this smart.
A work of genius
This is just amazing on so many levels. How did anybody think of it? How did they get Will Ferrell and Don Cheadle to do it?
The Grand Prix of Germany is this weekend so I am posting this picture
Two weeks ago, was the Grand Prix of England and this weekend is the Grand Prix of Germany. Formula One – which refers to the rules the cars that race in Grand Prix's must conform to – is a team sport. The two leading drivers are both British1 which hasn't happened in a long time.
I've read somewhere that the difference between the best driver on a course and the worse is only about a second a lap, but the difference between the best car and the worse is about four seconds a lap. In the top cars and top drivers, there is almost no difference.
It is very difficult to pass while racing around the track. Much of the race is strategic with the passing done while one car is in the pits having its tires changed. It takes about four seconds – give or take a couple of 10ths – to change all four tires and this picture – of Lewis Hamilton, the current points leader – shows the timing and energy that goes into it.
1 There are 24 drivers in F1 right now. They come from Great Britain; Australia; Austria; Germany; Spain; Brazil; Poland; Italy; Russia; Switzerland; Japan; Finland; and India. Obviously it is very competitive and all the drivers are very good.
We had a buck in our yard yesterday morning, but now he is gone.
I posted a comment about a buck we found in our yard, yesterday and Michele photographed. Now, the post is completely gone from the website. This is the second time that has happened and I have no explanation. The magic of the web, I guess.
He was a very impressive animal even if this photo gives him a slightly Skooby-doo look.
