Schütz is an Catholic Australian blogger. I just realized that I've been following his adventures with great interest for a while now, without having any occasion to quote him or leave a comment. It's like a sort of weird one-sided friendship; if I met him on the street I could start talking to him about his life and family like a pal, but he doesn't know I exist. Sometimes I get comments or e-mails from people who write, "I've been reading you for years, but never commented before..."

Once again, John, you're wrong. Since I live at 664 [european capital] st, I know for a fact that I am the Next-door neighbour of the Beast... :)

Ah. I always thought there was something fishy about those [european capital] streets...

Absolutely hilarious...my only quibble is the Oven Temperature for Roast Beast - because that's 1200+ degrees Fahrenheit...though that would make a great Pittsburgh-style seared Beast steak! A little blackening rub, nice rare steak...mmm...
