Okay. Okay. Lucas and Aaron are now TWO and they have a brand new sister named Carolyn, born January 22, 2008.
We don't post news very often, but the whole PFB family is very happy for the Koos!

Catching Up
Things have been pretty busy lately, so we'll play a little catch-up today.
Last week was another delightful lunch: scallops, salmon & a piece of halibut on a bed of shrimp all wrapped up in phyllo pastry, steamed gai-lan, and a little risotto. It was great! Brannen's wary look was completely unwarranted.
This week, it was that old favourite - paella. Shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken, chorizo, tender baby squid, red peppers, all in a bed of perfectly cooked rice. What more can I say, except, "When are those hammocks getting here?"
Now, I can see that it would be easy for someone to get the idea that all we did was sit around and eat. Not true, and to prove it, here's a picture of Carson, working his fingers to the bone, in a safe way:
That's it for This Week at PFB. Tune in next week for more.

Welcome Back!
Poor Jay. Can't get a break.
A couple of weeks ago, his left index finger wandered just a little too close to the blade of the table saw, and in the blink of an eye, well, it got bit.
It was a small bite, but it hurt, it bled, and it embarrassed the hell out of Jay.
Anyway, he took some time off work to let things heal up a bit, and when he came back this week, he was probably hoping that his embarrassing episode would be forgotten.
No such luck.
Brannen & Amanda worked into the wee hours to create a culinary masterpiece that would appropriately commemorate Jay's little booboo. Mmmmm...cherry....

Just In Time
Wednesday is a popular day at the shop - it's the halfway point of the week, and Pete makes lunch for The Men. Last Wednesday, it was an old favourite from last year: Choucroute, loosely based on a recipe by Vancouver's own Iron Chef, Rob Feenie.
Some canned choucroute, onions, garlic, juniper berries, coriander, cloves & bay leaf, some triple smoked bacon, a pork hock, some smoked pork loin, some potatoes, some sausages...Simmer everything for a couple of hours in some Reisling wine, and dig in.
Another great Wednesday lunch!
Even Bill, who is not a big lunch guy, and who just happened to drop by at the stroke of noon, couldn't resist.
