This is Michael Ruhlman, a writer.
He is, for we love to put first things first, a truly nice-looking guy.
Second, he is a good writer. He mostly writes about food but has also written about Boys, Houses, and small sailing craft.
He is one of these people who can look at a very small thing and then talk (or write) about it for hours.
A stoner. No, wait, we didn't mean that. A WRITER.
We would like to write as well as Mr. Ruhlman. So we are going to follow Ruhlman's rule, which decrees that the best way to become a good writer is to write every day.
We're going to write it here and we're going to write it short and illustrate it profusely, so it ought to be easy to read and very quick. We know you're a busy person.
Check back often. And, this for the foodies in the (incredibly small) audience, we are not going to follow Ruhlman's other rule, which, if codified, would go something like: "You are a fake foodie if you do not create your own veal stock. Veal stock is food magic and anyone with a functioning neurological system, like you don't even need a brain, can put it together from roasted veal bones and h2o. If you do not make your own veal stock, you are nothing but a stooge."
Yes. Well. We buy ours from Eli Zabar.
