James Gorman at the Times introduces readers to a nascent movement to eat invasive species into submission. I’m all for it, but first I have to move someplace where the pig has no natural predators, then set a bunch of pigs free. It’s something of a long-term plan.

Apropos of almost nothing, this seems like as good a place as any to mention that my sister and brother-in-law gave me an assortment of exotic meats and african mango for Christmas. So expect some write-ups about said meats in the coming weeks, once I eat my way through all the leftovers from the past few days. And if anyone has a good antelope recipe, send it along.
