Salsa Rossa
This is a recipe from Rafaela, the mother of one of Caroline's students. Serve thinly spread on toast as a starter or party snack with red wine.
Ingredients
Preparation
Notes
You want a slightly sloppy consistency - it's nicely spreadable after being in the fridge a while. Keeps for ages in the fridge. The oil will probably solidify, just give it a good stir before serving. It does seem a lot of bay leaves, but it works. Dry ones are ok, but the fresher the better, same with the parsley. It's obviously based on what you can get from an Italian garden (and supermarket), the only essential ingredients really are the tomato puree and bay leaves. In the north of England you might want to substitute the olive oil and anchovy paste with lard and a sardine.

Flat sinks
8:48:47 AM
A Kohler sink that's not a sink...
Justin waxes eloquent about Kohler's sexy, outre and somewhat impractical new line of plumbing fixtures:
LinkDiscuss...The sink was round and they've proven it flat. They removed soaking from the function of this sink, but when's the last time I soaked something in a sink? Actually, they do have some facility for soaking with the Purist™ Wet Surface Lavatory (K-2313) - they sell an optional Purist Hand Basin for $160.
(Thanks, Justin!) [Boing Boing Blog]
thanks, BoingBoing!

Adam Curry's name game
8:35:23 AM
I love these! My wife is a music expert; maybe she can shed some light on an answer.
It's time to play "Who's the celeb". Can you name this 1960's music icon pictured here with me in the early 80s? [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]
Ideas?
