In other news, I'm thinking about dinner

desperanceI was going to make spaghetti carbonara tonight, being as I have the world's best recipe'n'all (from somebody here, who recently reposted it on their own new foodie blog, and damn: I can't remember who?).
Only then I remembered that I have these yummy ripe tomatoes, and quite a lot of garlic and some red onions, and...
So what I think I might do, I might make a tomato sauce for the bottom of the bowl and put the spaghetti carbonara on top of that, and let the two influence each other, and see how that comes out. Bacon and tomato is always good, as is bacon and egg; egg and tomato is sometimes excellent (scrambled egg, omelette, that end of the spectrum) and sometimes awful (fried egg and grilled tomato? Who ever thought that was a good idea?). So we'll see.
In the original news, your responses-so-far to my query about shallow are tending to confirm my suspicion. Viz you're all offering me alternatives, which is as good as to say "no, Chaz, you cannot use 'shallow' without its sounding pejorative." Which I think is unfair entirely, but probably accurate. We do privilege depth.
Which is not to say that I may not leave the line as it is. Because shallow is what I want, for reasons expressed; and maybe one person in a hundred will think "Oh! I do privilege depth! Is that entirely fair...?" and then my work here will be done.
