In contrast to last weekend, I have spent much less time this weekend trying to find an escape route through flooded roads. Instead, I went to the mall and made ribs! I’m sure both of those subjects will come up on the citizen exam if I ever choose to take it.

(36 hour ribs came via Serious Eats and were as good as you’d expect. I cheated by using a Cackalacky Cheerwine BBQ sauce instead of my own, but hey, I had been cooking ribs for almost two days, so I feel like I should get something of a pass there)

I feel like I have something to write about this mess, but now that Brooks has decided to change the name (a good thing!), maybe it’s time to let those embers cool for a bit. Having said that, obviously my upcoming restaurant will be called “Paul Morley Once Commented On My Blog”.

Meanwhile, I have a bathroom to pack up! My dad, uncle, and my uncle’s brother will be joining me here at the House of Pi for a week for a spot of bathroom remodelling and seeing the sights of Durham. Hurrah!
