I ordered a new probe thermometer from Amazon, and got these books along
with it:

_Screen Doors and Sweet Tea_ by Martha Hall Foose
_Latin Evolution_ by Jose Garces
_NOMA_ by René Redzepi

I know that Christine already has the first one; her blackeyed peacakes were
what prompted me to get it too. Lin looked through the Garces book and
seemed to like it a lot; I haven't had a chance to peruse it at length yet.
_NOMA_ just might be a coffee-table book. It's *loaded* with gorgeous
pictures of the food, to the point where it takes a bit of searching to find
the recipes. I haven't dug deeply into that book yet either.

Bring them on down for a visit..maybe a long weekend sometime. My
company just got me a really nice place to stay, with an ocean
view...Shell Beach to be exact. Right next to Pismo Beach. Will send
you all pictures of the place, privately, on Facebook.

Looks like the place has a charcoal grill..maybe can find some red oak
and cook from one of my newish cookbooks: Seven Fires.

Does this mean you have good news for us?

Never trust a dog to watch your food.

I also have the allegedly-authentic recipe for Santa Maria tri-tip and
salsa.

Congrats on the new abode! It sounds wonderful.

I hadn't heard of Seven Fires until yesterday. I'll have to take
a peek at it. I buy very few recent cookbooks though--and then
only when I have a good discount.

Probably too nice to use in the kitchen. You might want to cover it
with clear wrap. I have a cookbook stand which is clear plastic and
covers the book nicely - but I just never get it out.
