Friday night out about town

King of Birds, at RMA

Once again, the tree is on fire!

Today is Veteran's Day.
I've been fortunate enough to hear some tales from the front [of Iraq] first hand.
That experience completely changed my perspective, since my initial impressions were based on the Media, which we know, is certainly not objective...

Here's a wish of wellness to all Veterans.

Medicinal Soup

Yan Rou + Dang Gui + Sheng Jiang Tang.
(In English: mutton, angelica/dankuai Root, and fresh ginger root soup.)
Tonify blood...and taste buds.

This is supposed to be medicinal but I expect it to taste delicious, especially with the supporting role played by a beautiful Leek.

If only herb ID exams can be conducted this way...

Frozen Rain in Brooklyn

Perfect morning for a fluffy marshmallow cloud to float into my hot chocolate.

cooking with gas & goji power

Just as I ran out of ideas on how to flavor a fried tofu dish, I remembered a friend's comment about cooking more with herbs.

A handful of hijiki + goji berries atop sprouted tofu (drizzle with some sesame oil) = healthy vibrant delicious lunch

this was cooked in my Berndes Supratherm purchased about 1 year ago from a Marshalls in suburbia. I can no longer find anywhere?!

A tiny spark in the otherwise dreadful and suffocating Art Book Fair (the NY Art Book Fair at PS 1). Shakers made by David Shrigley (sorry about the glare)

After that, a walk on the High Line in darkness was most refreshing. Plants illuminated by dim, low lighting. Oddly romantic.

Later on today, I was asked, "do you miss the art world?"

With slight hesitation, I answered, "no." Certain people, yes, I miss the colorful characters I have met in the art world, though I still meet them happily outside of that

amoebic field.
