The Secret Ingredient   February 03, 2009 Alternate title: Ways Not to Impress People in the Kitchen. Yes, I was making some soup for a friend, grinding some pepper in when the nut that holds the crank on the pepper mill fell off and fell into the soup. It was a lentil soup, so totally opaque. I tried dredging it with a spoon and eventually did retrieve the nut. My friend didn't seem to care all that much, but the thought of either of us breaking a tooth or passing it later was not something I wanted to entertain. I wanted to draw a longer cartoon of the whole sequence, but since that'd be at least 6 panels, I decided to just do a quick version of the essential part. The soup was actually quite good.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
