I am a nerd, and as such I do nerdish things. Management is more of a geek, and as such he tends to make geeky purchases. Combine his latest purchase, a Flip video camera, with my one displayable talent and you wind up with the following video...
I had a cooking outing on Saturday. I will attempt to walk you through this visually, although being busy cooking means not being free to take photos. Some of the more interesting stuff went undocumented and some of the better looking stuff was cooked not by me but by my happy cooking friend...
