pre-convention visitors

[ellen_datlow]

An influx of visitors from Australia and the UK are starting to arrive in NYC in advance of the WFC in Saratoga. Last night I had dinner with Kaaron Warren and her family at Miracle Grill.
Kaaron describes her experience--we discussed "meat" at dinner--you can read her point of view

I too, had two delicious blood orange margharitas but mine were frozen. If I'd had another I would have staggered home and gotten even less work done than I did last night.

Jack Dann's coming to town for a few days but because both our schedules are so tight we're not going to be able to see each other before the convention (except at the Australian Embassy Party Tuesday evening).

Sorry, didn't read the 'clump' entry before posting. Ew, clumps?

Just think chopped up hamburger, much more appetizing :-)

Chopped up hamburger, chopped up hamburger...it's not working.

ROTFL...Ok. You got a hamburger without roll. Just use a form and cut it into small pieces, kind of mashing it (I'd think you'd have to have a well-done burger to do this)...

If I add some mashed potato and gravy to the picture it starts to work a bit better. Thanks. I can eat my dinner now.

Well, do you ever cook a pound of raw hamburger in a skillet? You stir it and as you stir it, it forms clumps. Not big clumps because they will take longer to cook through so you use the spoon to divide them, but small clumps. That's what this is.

True! I tend to squish mine with a fork...
