In the Kitchen, I Got the Power 在厨房,我是上帝   It’s just as I’m about to start seasoning the rib of beef, massaging it with mustard powder, salt and lust, that the question occurs to me. It’s one of those blunt1), heavy-browed questions that forces you to stop what you are doing, palms forward over the meat. It is: Why am I doing this?
