I was trying to write up this (theoretically) amusing incident that happened at work today but I've gone thru three different versions now and it always ends up sounding like something out of Reader's Digest. And I do not hold up "Life in These United States" as the style model for entries on this blog. So that content has been abandoned.

Here, instead, is a link to an excellent article on Texas barbecue by Calvin Trillin.

Also, another installment in the Robert Rodriguez 10-Minute Cooking School.
