Medieval Irish warlord boasts three million descendants: From New Scientist.

If your name is (O')Neill, (O')Gallagher, (O')Boyle, (O')Doherty, O'Donnell, Connor, Cannon, Bradley, O'Reilly, Flynn, (Mc)Kee, Campbell, Devlin, Donnelly, Egan, Gormley, Hynes, McCaul, McGovern, McLoughlin, McManus, McMenamin, Molloy, O'Kane, O'Rourke or Quinn, you may be one of them.

Ideas in Food is a blog by married-to-each-other, high-end chefs Aki Kamozawa & H. Alexander Talbot. It's not a practical food blog -- "quail parcel wrapped in romaine lettuce and accompanied by honey mustard, lemon seasoned jalapeno and chocolate salt" just won't happen in my kitchen.

But the photos and descriptions of experiments in their kitchen at the eight-room, $995-a-night Keyah Grande resort in Pagosa Springs, Colo., surprise the mind more than the palate, and the recipe for Chocolate Caramel Cashew Balls might make you a star in your next cookie swap.

Somewhat less precious, Simply Recipes has declared a low-carb theme for the month. It begins in the comments on that link, and parts one and two are up.

Crustless Roasted Vegetable Cheddar Quiche could catch anybody's eye.

(I found these blog while searching for non-lethal food news after reading that the Japanese have again banned imports of U.S. beef -- less than a month after permitting some back in -- because a shipment from New York contained carcass parts that could have posed a risk of mad cow disease.)

Karina, I don't like chunky omelets, but leftover veggies in a cheesey custard sounds like comfort food. Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Sheila!

It is comfort food - exactly! I'll give you a shout out back from my blog, btw. Thanks again!
