adventures in fire escape gardening-arugula covered in cayenne in an attempt to keep squirrels away. mostly it works!the spinach in late may. see the red chard spouts behind it? we let it take over...the red chard harvest of this week - a good fist full, maybe a $3 bunch at the farmer's market, but about one serving in the pan. but i grew it!

oh spring, you have finally arrived. with spring, apparently in NY culinary circles (or more commonly in West Virginia) comes ramps, wild leeks, Allium tricoccum. Super pungent wild member of the allium fammily, tastes like a garlicky spring onion. I'd never eaten them before, but I'm seduced. Apparently its not possible (or preferred) to cultivate them, so they must be hunted on semi-wild lands

it snowed on Saturday, the same day the orchid finally bloomed. this a kaleidoscope orchid from jen from about two years ago that came back from near-death.

saw on boingboing today that there are atheist-advertising busses roaming the streets of London - 800 of them that say "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." this intended as a 'positive counter response' to fear-mongering ads about sinners/non-Christians going to a lake of fire, etc.as an agnostic, and a strong freedom-of-religionist, I'm just not sure how i feel about

2008 although strange & difficult in many ways, was a great year in the kitchen for us. Aside from simple meals like cheese grits with Uncle Bruthas hot sauce, desserts containing booze, meals with friends that make us say 'we are so good at this!' & a tattered Joy of Cooking bringing the old fashioned American baked goods like biscuits & pie crust back into our house, there's been a number of

although it was just Dave and I in Brooklyn for thanksgiving, we still managed to cook nearly all weekend. I recently, gratefully acquired a friend's Tassajara Bread Book which is by far the best bread book I've encountered (introduced to me by Brigette's Open High baking class!) for beginners and experienced bakers alike. Although the recipes require significant patience and all-day rising -

i get it in my head that i'm going to can something for friends & family for holiday presents. Last year we made tomatillo salsa from our Lovejoy garden plot bounty, this year we have no such garden - damn brooklyn living. but we do have the benefit of supercheap produce from the co-op. Apple Butter sounds appealing and cheaply made, so I call Alan the produce guy who suggests Jonagold apples,

at work, i get a pic mail from dave that says: 'I bought us a delicious monster.' fearfully, i look this monster up online. it's weird. i'm afraid. it's at my house. and it's shedding it's skin.Monstera Deliciosa or Mexican Breadfruit is the fruit of a split-leaf philodendron, native to Central America. It's covered in green, vaguely poisonous scales which must be allowed to fall of on their own.

I blogged for Filmmaker Magazine about the dazzling animation in the tunnel after the B/Q DeKalb stop here in Brooklyn. Masstransiscope (1980) is by my former Hampshire film professor Bill Brand, restored after 20 years of negligence. Actually, I'd been riding past it nearly daily since I moved here, but they only turned the lights on the show a few months ago. The short article is mostly factual

...I've got somewhat of a to do list, including boring chores like laundry, but im excited about not having many real obligations (except 2 co-op shifts so we don't get suspended). dreaming of all kinds of kitcheny crafty plans like baking bread and making and canning apple butter - not sure where this idea came from but it's either that or pickles and it could possibly take all weekend. with D.

Dave's got a cold, it's turning fall, the election is coming and we need comfort food. some veggie spot in park slope had seitan shepherd's pie on the menu, so i thought i'd give it a shot. here's my lazy version. serves 2-4Preheat oven to 400Fscrub and put on to boil about ~1 lb yukon gold potatoes with some salt- the potatoes at the co-op are very small & organic so they didn't need to be cut

we'd been lurking the cranberry beans among the lush local produce at the co-op. what is it? is it good? do we like it? so, in the cart they go. ours are fresh, not dried, and after research (internets), a consultation thru a gardeny friend, we ended up with this, done our own way:Cranberry Beans a la Slow-Paced Monday Dinner (with pesto or other things)(about 2 servings+tomorrow's lunch,)1 pound

Two former professors from the increasingly illustrious Hampshire College film/video department are showing in the Whitney Biennial now - amazing! The line-up looks great, and I'm intrigued by the inclusion of artists like The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black and Spike Lee.

after seeing a haunted-feeling apartment - a rundown brownstone with dry thorny roses by the lion-guarded white metal fence, a private yard, 'garden entrance' and an okay price, dirty and badly maintained, with a rat problem and a cold wind blowing into the place up from the basement,...i was convinced to put our money where my thoughts were and go for the warm, west-facing 5th floor two (large)

i may have found an apartment. it's between the Q train and the park. im excited but trying not to get too excited since i haven't put in an application - maybe tomorrow? this may be the bedroom. it may also be the bedroom for my future neighbors. or not.wish us luck.

courage is necessary.oh, hey. it's been a while, huh? did you hear i'm moving to New York on Sunday? I'm a little nervous, and hoping that my couch surfing won't be too much a burden on my friends. have you a reasonably priced apartment for us? just me, the fellow and our charming cat. hopefully this orchid and trompe l'oeil print will make it too. it's trying to snow today and i wish it would,

Saw a great show last night with jen and a few other friends.Mirah, a whispery, sultry, sometimes girly and silly-voiced soprano with her backing band Spectratone International. They said their openers canceled so they played their own warmup- a short set of covers, mostly - a stirring pirate shanty, Nico's "Fairest of the Seasons" and an older Mirah song. After the break, they sang mostly from

I inherited some new plants this week, and, as recoup from working 30+ hours this weekend, went on a potting spree yesterday. They seem to be happy in our dappled light apartment, so hopefully they'll survive!This Aloe is a fledgling from a good friend's massive plant. I've never had an aloe before, so I'm glad to finally have this beneficial plant in the kitchen. aloe has a wide and shallow root

Some great news for the Hampshire College film program coming out of Park City lately - two films (at least) made by alums are showing at Sundance and Slamdance. Sundance, one of the top film festivals in the US, and Slamdance, playing simultaneously in the same area, might be the queen of the ultraindie fests. If you're lucky enough to head there, here are some films to add to your screening

I've been spending this week in the West Village at a swank members hotel's dark and comfy 'cinema' for the IFP Doc Lab. The filmmakers are amazing, excited and engaged and with promising projects you doc programmers should look out for. i sort of feel like i just figured out how to live here and now i'm leaving.

Apparently, Warner Bros. president of production has decreed that "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead." Can we all say "What the fuck?!" loudly and in unison? This per the Deadline Hollywood Daily blog (Huffington Post cited it, so perhaps it is really true?). ugh. apparently their reason (blatant sexism) is the declining box office - definitely the result of casting women as

It looks onto a parking lot and the apts next door. i need a proper curtain & a dresser & to get organized & not be meloncholy. im still mostly in flux, i don't have a desk a computer or an email at my new

in summer, i live on it. i've already had 2 today, and im looking forward to a third if i ever get home from doing laundry.we made cold brew coffee; it seems good so far, and way easy:-put 1 cup coarse ground coffee beans in a 4-cup not-metal container-pour 2 cups cold water over grounds-cover; let sit overnight/12 hourswake up, prepare & drink hot coffee (unless you can do things before coffee)-

i quit my job. my friend connie has a trampoline. i am briefly unemployed; soon i'll just be underemployed, living in a mystery apartment in brooklyn. i want to do more with my blog but being bored makes for a boring post.

d + i had passes for warped tour. we stood on stage while bad religion tore it up and the guy in who's backyard we've been drinking whipped young men into a frenzy with powerful guitar antics. being a rockstar is definitely cool but, what does it feel like to have fans half your age? to be on tour to make a living? living out of a bus designed for a 1980s coke+porno-loving country star instead of

1. get 1 quart of tomatillos from the farmers market at RFK Stadium parking lot2. peel papery skins off tomatillos and wash well - they are sticky!3. cut tomatillos into bite-size pieces4. put tomatillos in sauce pan with water to cover. bring to a boil then turn down to simmer until tomatillos turn dark green and the flesh is soft. drain well. 41/2. while the tomatillos are simmering, finely

went to atlantic city this weekend, a strange place full of contrasts - the illusion of wealth over serious poverty, mainly. strangely, there was a Peter Max art billboard on the boardwalk. the psychadelic and christ-like mural is out of place among the faux-glitz and practically art-free remainder of the boardwalk. the washed-out color is nice, thou im not sure if this is his intention (his work

now, i've never read any bukowski, and I have a feeling that his misogyny and my feminism will never see eye to eye, but i'm completely fascinated by Crazy Mike's rewriting of one of his books & using it as a sketchbook. Mike's LOVING A DOG FROM HELL reworks, edits draws and rewrites the pages, and is being thoroughly, lovingly documented (as photojournalists tend to do) on his blog. I've not

it only took 3 months, but i completed the lace weight merino shawl (in willow!) for D.'s birthday (in Nov.). I probably started around October 1, and it was blocked in Christmas Day. I thought i'd post pics since it's by far the biggest project i've enver completed. it's got to be like 10,000 stitches. its funny to think of knitting as being lots of tiny tiny knots.no idea why this is

i'm a blog-monster now. i can't fucking stop. is there a support group for people addicted to blogging? ok yes, the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery. well, I hope it won't get to this point. i think i like nature too much for that. but in the meantime. i started a new group-blog for all things anyone wants to post. everyone should join it or check it out at breakdancinggodzilla.blogspot.com

The most amazing thing happened today. A man in a too-tight button up shirt was playing the theremin at 10am on the sidewalk in front of Red Lobster in downtown silver spring. Of course, I had to talk to him. Arthur Harrison was playing the prototype for his newest model - it'll be available soon on his website - Harrison Instruments. I didn't have the courage to ask him if i can play it, but if

it's big talk I know, but having seen her perform last night, i think it's true. Even with wisdom-teeth-extraction jaw pain, having worked all day (more or less), and the out too late on a school night feeling, I am more RnR that she is. Granted, I'm not wearing skin-tight leather pants, but i was still lookin' hot.i mean, come on Joan, are you the same girl from the Runaways? I can see it's

Saw a sneak preview of the new punk docu AMERICAN HARDCORE this week. A fitting premiere in DC - the east coast birthplace of hardcore. The hardcore scene seems to be pretty much non-existent in DC these days, and I was surprised at the diversity of the audience. Way more old folks and business-types than I expected, thou still a good number of boys in tight pants, hand-sewn pants patches and

Dave & I went to see THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP last week. I LOVE!!! It. I think you would like it too... You can check out the trailer, but I don't think it even begins to represent how artful, reflective, romantic, unusual and compelling it is. The story is of a Mexican - Stefane (Gael Garcia Bernal) staying in his mother's apartment in France who falls in love with his next door neighbor - Stefanie
