    Wow. That looks _amazing_. Delicious I assume?

      Delicious indeed — tender, flavorful, good mouthfeel.

      I’m trying to hit some of the “low-hanging fruit” in the cookbook… this was too easy to pass up:

      - Boil the fennel bulbs for 45 minutes or until tender (add herbs to the water so you don’t leach out the fennel flavor)
      - Chill, then cut two long slices out from the core of the bulb
      - Fry the cores in 1/8″ canola oil for 2 minutes each side
