- Brioche & Etc.I have finally had a successful attempt at baking a bit of bread! Randomly deciding to have another go at it the other day, I found that the only recipe I had on hand was the Brioche in my copy of the French Laundry Cookbook, and so that’s what I made. Above is a photo [...]
- my fickle memory kept me keep repeating between clenched teeth the last sentence i had chosenShut the windows. Pour another glass of wine—in no particular order. Yesterday, I happened upon a particular idea that I can’t remember today. It happened in the afternoon, and was lost in a folder by bedtime. And I awoke today with nothing on my mind, again. Again, I spent the day daydreaming about what might [...]
- Jennifer & Vesa HolleA massive congratulations to my friends Jennifer & Vesa Holle who were married over the weekend at the Armory here in Portland. It was a wonderful and unforgettable night with old friends, and new friends. I wish them a lifetime of happiness and joy as they grow together.
- Cold Soul or Spoiler of SpoilsOne of the bloggers that I subscribe to, The Portland Pickle, recently posted a link to this article in GOOD Magazine. After viewing such an eclectic range of refrigerators and their contents, I just could not resist photographing my own. I guess I feel that it is rather pedestrian as far as fridges go, but [...]
- vs. Carnegie DeliI failed to bring a lunch to work today, and since my girlfriend was working in the area, I called and asked her if she could pick me up a sandwich or something, maybe from this place called Kenny & Zukes; maybe something with meat on it. So she drops off this monster, the ‘Meshugaletta’, [...]
- Salt on EverythingI was out to lunch at the Mongolian BBQ this afternoon, when one of my Mexican compadres started to salting his orange. I thought it was a joke, until he kept at it. Then Louis told me that most Mexicans salt their oranges, and that it’s actually very good. So naturally, I stabbed a mandarin [...]
- Indian JewelryUsually when I go out to see a gig I can hardly walk on my own, but lately I’ve given up on drinking for a couple of reason, and so I ventured out this past Sunday to see Indian Jewelry at the Holocene in Portland, OR in single-vision bliss. The only real downside to this [...]
- From a Bar Calendar Dated November 2005Eugene decided to skip the laundry. Instead he went ahead and made himself a very special cheese sandwich: 2 imitation singles, mayonnaise, and French’s yellow, on darkly toasted Wonder white. He liked his sandwiches to shatter in his mouth. It was like chewy glass mixed with Elmer’s glue. He choked it down bite by [...]
- Bat for LashesAt the risk of being scoffed at by all those music bloggers who are way ahead of the curve, the album that I keep coming back to this year is Two Suns by Bat for Lashes. This band has started to see a bit of attention in the States, making tv and radio appearences everwhere, [...]
- Happy Father’s Day to ME!!Look at this little tyke. Isn’t it the cutest-wittle-ting you’ve ever seen!? That’s my first tomato, there. Takes after his old man.
