"crabcakes" news and stories

There's a site based out of the UK that I've been in love with for many months now. Fire and Knives is not quite a food blog, because the author, Tim, doesn't update as often as a blogger would. It's not a food porn site, because there ae no pictures. Tim is just a very good, very entertaining food writer.

His March 21 entry titled "Crabcakes with Lt. Ripley" actually made me want to go out and watch the movie Alien. I don't like movies, and I hate aliens, but just read a sample of what Tim wrote:

"There is a moment near the beginning of the movie Alien when we catch the first glimpse of the creature they call the ‘Face Hugger’. It is the genius of HR Giger that the creature’s design quotes the legs of spiders, tails of scorpions, skeletal fingers and all manner of invasive phallic imagery. It is intended to provoke, in all who see it, a sense of unease, visceral disgust and revulsion.

It made me think of drawn butter."

Tim hasn't updates since the end of October, but the archives are well worth a good gobbling up. I'm also hoping that Tim might be inspired to write another good post very soon.
