commie pizza (part 2)
June 27, 2010 – 7:50 am
i realized that i had a brain melt the other day and forgot the most important part of the commie pizza story.
we stood in line for a while waiting to order, but when it was our turn, the pizza guy said “we are out of cheese…but i don’t want you to wait, so can you [...]

many years ago we were in Florence, Italy, and a friend of ours took us to a Communist Pizza Party. it was outdoors and there were old communists square dancing and young communists eating pizza. on offer were three different pizzas: one with marinara and cheese, one with marinara, cheese and mushrooms, and one with [...]

this year there’s a debate that cooking has supplanted knitting as the “new yoga.”
but most of this cooking stuff is really about High Chefery. we have Chefs with Designer Footwear, Chefs Undercover (writing “tales from the trade” novelettes, with titles such as “Under Hot Water,” “Hung High and Dry Like a Cold Cut,” “Kept [...]

May 2, 2010 – 6:16 pm
my teeth are in really great shape (“only floss the ones you want to keep!”) but i do make a point to see my dentist at least three times a year. mostly it’s because my visits include drinking coffee out of his vacuum pot with his freshly roasted beans (kenyan, usually).
there’s a whole rigmarole with [...]
things that make my brain go bonkers
April 20, 2010 – 4:59 pm
just a short list for today:
–a bonanza of fava beans. god, there’s never enough. lucky for me it’s also green garlic season so sauteing the two together in butter makes everyone lick their plates so clean there’s no dishwashing here until tomato season!

–crazy assed yet beautifully designed Chinese coffee tins:
yes, i did try a [...]

last night at the Walt Disney hall we went to a performance of Louis Andriessen’s La Commedia, a crazy opera based on the story by Dante, full of intense, super-intellectual music, with text in Latin, Dutch, English and Italian. one of my favorite lines was “[the three furies] screamed so loud that I pressed myself [...]
seller not the writer

so this sign pretty much sums up what i’ve been up to.
that’s a hint, since we’ve had to sign a hefty NDA on this one. the big & happy picture is that we’ve automated something that used to take four lovely women four hours a day to do on a computer, and that’s four [...]
