"let them eat cake"

Straight from the farm












Podunks. Hillbillies. Mountain Williams. Call us what you like but you will find some good things in Smoky Mountain trailer parks besides Jack Daniels and Dolly Parton albums. Namely, these gooey lovely pecan sticky buns that we used to eat back home in Kentucky.

This week we are celebrating:

1) Nadine being back, all lovely and tan, from that place they named the blue liquor after!

2) The arrival of a compatriot! Welcome to Alex, whose native New Jersey is a much more dignified state than mine. Here's hoping that her more elevated provenance will increase the respectability of all her American CEPR colleagues.

3) The departure of Robyn! Well, of course, we are not technically happy about this, since we have loved having her around to buffer our incompetence with transferring telephone calls. But she is beginning a bigger, better, mosquito-centred career where she will undoubtedly find great success and professional satisfaction examining larvae and whatnot.

Don't forget to come to the pub on Friday night to toast the three ladies of honour!
