While out on a walk recently, I witnessed a seagull swoop down to the street and scarf down an entire raw chicken breast in one go, before it even had a chance to fully stabilize on the ground (it was beating its wings while its webbed feet were slipping on the polished tiles). It made me kind of jealous. There have definitely been times in my life, while working on some interesting problem, when I wish I could just skip cooking and eating, and go straight to funneling a raw chicken breast down my gullet. Anyway, here's today's issue!
