Stew came out sharp, complex and interesting. Expect by tomorrow it will have mellowed and become perhaps more complex & interesting.

Finally finished reading Dhalgren, odd for it to take me a year to read a book, it's been an odd year, over now, attention turning to other things. Can't say I cared for the book that much, but it did sort of set the tone. Thinking of starting in on Tartarin of Tarascon.
