Dear Twisty, I can’t find your email address, but I bet you will just *love* the ongoing comment thread to this post.

Twisty - I spent this afternoon reading through your archives (yeah, I was at work, viva la revolucion!), and I have to say that you are pretty damned awsome. This is some of the best blogging I’ve seen: smart, funny, iconoclastic, and with great food pictures (I am a food whore). Anyway…keep on keepin’ on. You’ve got a fan in San Antonio. :)

Res P, thank you very much for the compliment. That, and the grasshopper, were two of today’s more pleasant events.

Totally unrelated to this post, but umm….where did you get your square dishes? They’re pretty keen.

Have you seen the new grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids fieldguide? I’ve been tempted by that (and the caterpillars guide, though it’s only butterfly caterpillars) but don’t have the $30-each in the budget just now. I’ve run into some gorgeous grasshoppers in the last few years, though — some of them look like samurai in full armor.

Hey Res P, the square dishes are made by Apilco. I got mine at Williams-Sonoma. And man-o-man, they just came out with a new square soup bowl with a cover, like the kind miso soup comes in. I can’t wait to get my claws on a couple of those babies

And Ron, do you by any chance have publisher info on those field guides? I only have ones that cover Texas bugs.

Here ya go.
We’ve become skinflints since Joe retired, so we’re still poking around for used or review copies. Fortunately, we live in Berkeley.
